Though tarpon usually spook easily and show extreme weariness when around humans, they occasionally, and usually accidentally, injure humans. Most injuries occur when anglers try to release tarpon after a fight, whereby tarpon have reportedly killed the angler in its violent thrashing. To avoid this situation, one should not attempt to boat a tarpon that is still green (i.e., full of vigor). Let the fish thoroughly tire out before attempting to either gaff or bring the tarpon close for release. Occasionally a tarpon will rush toward and inadvertently leap into the boat. Several tarpon guides have reported having such a fish destroy rods, electronics, and other equipment.

Captured on underwater scanning equipment aboard a luxury cruise vessel, the clear reading appears to show a large object in the deep waters below. The screenshot - revealed days after satellite images apparently showing a mystery object in the loch were published - is set to cause fresh excitement among frustrated Nessie hunters." states Tim Stanley on the subject of Nessie.
