 | | Yuji Torimi, 51, a Kobe Municipal Government worker on the Shikishima-maru trawler, wasn't kidding. |
 | | He and fellow fisherman working off the coast of Susami, Wakayama, received the shock of their lives after a 770 pound (350-kilogram) blue pointer shark suddenly leaped out of the water and into their fishing boat, injuring Torimi, who suffered broken ribs after the huge marine creature's tail fin slammed into his chest. |
