Ive been bitten by blood parrots, pike, bullhead, walleye, piranha, crayfish, saltwater lobster, dead dogfish (dont ask me how), lerporius, clams, pacu, CAE and a triggerfish. Only one serious injury come from a crayfish which draw a blood out of me.

I thought saltwater lobsters can take your finger off if they get ahold of you

Rebel you must be tasty snack thats a lot of fish to get bit by. I think they want you to stop eating highliner for diner.

I know, even ive been bitten by pretty ladies in the mermaid clothes before:naughty::drool:...but it was worth of it and I love to go fishing all time! Sure i got bitten by gamefish from time to time. I hate to have to deal with remove the tankbusters at the lfs, especially with pleco, cichlids, pacu and leporius from the display tank all time. last year someone bought us a 1 foot long saltwater lobster. The ex owner said he was just bought a live lobster from Walmart and play prank on his college buddy by put it in his 30gal saltwater tank...sadly they remove the rubber bands off the claws. It nearly got me but thank for the heavily coat he only grab on. The lobster eventually returned to the Walmart after no one will take a 1 foot long aggressive lobster in.
 
My 5 inch Green Terror bit me once...it was extremely traumatic.
 
I have seen a guy at an LFS that had a nice scar on his palm from a RBP. didn't really say how exactly but it was a RBP b/c the shape. and he had to get a few stitchs. I have yet to get bit by mine and hope I don't If I was going to get bit I wanted it to be when they were young now that they are all well over 5" I don't want the pleasure of getting bit now.
 
I had a red devil grab on to my finger. I was starteled so I ripped my finger out of the tank and out flew the fish onto the floor...lol. Tough little guy survived no problem and swam about the tank after he was dropped back in. Probably the meanest fish I've had in terms of temperement!!!
 
Got bitten once by my Rhom...

okay deep breath... red belly piranhas, rhom, piraya, oscars, blood parrots, crayfish, silver arowana, jar arowana, FW prawns, SW lobster, royal pleco (that was a weird one), african cichlids, 10" frontosa, koi, baby arapaima, and last but not least, baby snapping turtle.
 
The only fish that ever bit me was an alligator gar, while I was fishing. I was trying to throw it back, as I was bassfishing.

I've also been bitten by a snapping turtle, which was what led my parents to make me get rid of him; that and he outgrew the 40 gallon tank I had for him.
