A boat captain is dead after being speared by a
swordfish in Hawaii. Randy Llanes, 47, was killed Friday while trying to
catch the swordfish with a spear gun, according to the Hawaii Police
Department. Llanes, who runs a deep sea fishing charter, jumped
in the water at Honokohau Harbor on the Big Island after spotting the broadbill
swordfish.
After being hit with the spear that Llanes fired off,
the fish "thrashed about, leaving a puncture wound to his upper
chest," said Lt. William Souther of the .
Emergency crews attempted CPR, but Llanes died at a
local hospital from trauma caused by a puncture wound from the swordfish.
The fish was about six feet long and weighed around
40 pounds.
