One more reason not to buy that Big Mouth Billy Bass

"SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) - A woman was arrested on accusations she used a mounted fish with a pointy nose to assault her live-in boyfriend, police said.

"A state police trooper responded Monday to a domestic dispute and found a 25-year-old man who claimed he was the victim of a knife assault. The man had several small cuts on his arms, right leg and left shoulder, as well as a bite wound on the same shoulder, a Saginaw police report said.

"But when questioned, a 25-year-old woman told authorities she bit her boyfriend back after he bit her first. And she said she never used a knife on him. She said the man threw her down and hit her several times. That's when she grabbed the fish.

"'She could not get away, so she grabbed a decorative fish off the mantle of the fireplace and hit him several times until he let her go,' the police report said."
