Is there a fish that will attack you?

I've had an adult queen triggerfish that I literally had to use egg crate to partition the tank while I cleaned it or she would have done some serious damage. If you even walked by the tank she was bashing the glass trying to get to you, she was a little psychotic. I also had a flowerhorn that when I would get in to clean the tank he would just attack my legs till he ran out of energy, was pretty amusing to watch.
I had an Aimara that jumped out of the tank, glass lids included, to bite my hand. They must have some kind of anti-coagulant in their saliva because I was bleeding for a long time!
A buddy had a 24" aimara and told me of an incident that once occurred during a pond maintenance. The aimara was housed in a 300gal Rubbermaid stock tank with a framed chicken wire lid/cover. My buddy had to get into the pond to do something and had his girlfriend hold up the chicken wire cover. He repeated warned her to keep an eye on the aimara at all times while she was doing this. At some point, she let her guard down and in a blink of an eye, the aimara shot out of the water right at her. Luckily, she was holding the cover in front of her and the airborne aimara crashed into the cover and knocked her backwards. The aimara after crashing into the cover landed safely back into the tank. I believed the girlfriend learned a lesson lol
I'm not afraid of her because it doesn't really hurt and she's still little, but my green severum always goes after my hand if I'm messing around with something in the tank.

I hate to be that guy,...........but how can you not know there are some fish that will attack you?
Oh I know they're out there. I was just curious which ones are the more common ones. I mean obviously it depends on the fish and not only the species, I have very calm green sunfish, others don't. I was just curious other's experiences.
