It knocked his boat <em>10 feet into the air</em>? Really? And the witness thought it was a fish that did this? That would be one extremely large and strong fish. I know of no fish even remotely capable of doing that. Surely this must be a tall tale? It diminishes the credence of this report in my eyes. My guess is that something unusual might have been seen here, but the story was most certainly spruced up a bit in the re-telling. It is hard for me to establish possible fact from embellishment in this account. I get the distinct feeling that there is some exaggeration going on here. It knocked his boat 10 feet into the air?
