'The fish hit the crotch directly.'

A renegade fish on a mission to destroy humans landed a direct hit on a water skier in Japan recently.

A member of the Waseda Waterski Team known as Miroku was water-skiing on the Tone River near the Kantō region in Japan when disaster struck. A sizable fish jumped out of the water and nailed Miroku right in the penis, Rocket News reports.

Miroku dropped the tow line and appeared to double over in pain following the assault. Thankfully, it appears that he recovered from his injuries, because he later tweeted the video of the incident, and it has since received over 65,000 retweets at the time of writing.

"The fish hit the crotch directly," a translated version of the tweet reads.

It is unclear if the fish made it out of the attack alive.

Anyways, here's a GIF of the brutal assault, so that you can watch it on repeat.
