hookinfinger Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Poor guy. Did you happen to know this guy mybeach ? Do Swordfish regularly come into the harbor ? Boat captain dies after being IMPALED by 6ft swordfish when he jumped into Hawaii harbor and shot it with a spear gun Randy Llanes, 47, was killed by fish Friday at Honokohau Harbor Witnesses told how he jumped into water and shot animal with spear gun But it attacked, leaving him with puncture wound to his torso Was pulled from the water and taken to hospital, but was already dead A fishing boat captain has died after being impaled by a 6ft-long swordfish in a Hawaiian harbor. Randy Llanes, 47, was killed by the fish, which had a sharp, 3ft-long bill, after he jumped off a pier in Honokohau Harbor on Big Island in an attempt to catch it. Moments before diving in, Llanes had shot the fish with a spear gun, according to witnesses, but the wounded animal punctured his upper right torso, leaving him floating in the water. According to Hawaii News Now, the fish was a broadbill swordfish. The site reported that onlookers pulled Llanes from the harbor and gave him CPR - but to no avail. A spokesman for the Hawaii County fire department said: 'All we know is next thing they know, the man is seen floating.' 'They are very aggressive animals. If you mess with them they defend themselves pretty good.' The victim was taken to Kona Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. Police are investigating the death. Llanes ran the Sundowner Sportfishing Charters company, which offered private hire fishing tours for as many as six anglers. According his social media profiles, Llanes was an avid fisherman himself, and was often pictured posing with his enormous catches. In a biography on his company website, Llanes said he had been a licensed captain since 1997, and had 25 years' fishing experience. He described Hawaii as 'one of those rare places where sea monsters still exist'. Dennis Quote TimS "...we have 30 moderators and 7 administrators, we aren't taking on any vigilantes at this time".

MikeMc Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Some times, when you **** with the bull, you get the horns. You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch Jigger Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 30 pound sword? Picture worthy? Good lord. Should have had the chick take her top off to distract people from the minnow sword.

DeepKona Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 The Llanes Ohana(family).....very well respected in the Hawaii fishing community for many, many years. At least three generations of fishermen that know and perform their craft well. It is a sad time at the Honokohau Harbor I'm sure due to what the "Llanes Ohana" stands for. R.I.P. Randy.

Wigeon Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Do I know him? No. Bizarre story. Freak way to go.....too bad...must have been an awful and slow death....not the first though I believe.... MyBeach.....you are aware that there are more than a few mouth breathers upstairs in the Main that at this very moment are rubbing their beads praying that this happens to you someday right???..... Chick is definitely cute.....more pics would be nice....speaking of Capt Isaacs...always loved that ESPN show he had...not for the fishing, but the gorgeous, near nekid hotties he had on his deck at all times.....
