It is a bizarre spectacle watching the fish jump in the path of boats and Jet Skis. In fact, it's hard not to laugh, until you discover that these fish have become a serious hazard. Nick Touchton saw his wife lying motionless in the water next to her Jet Ski. "Once I got there I saw that she was totally unconscious. I really thought she was dead," he said. Sharon was airlifted to Gainesville for emergency surgery after colliding with an airborne jumping sturgeon. Her tongue was sliced and four fingers were severed. Only three were reattached.
