I thank God that my Blackbelt Cichlid doesn't hurt that bad when he bites. I still feed him by hand sometimes and when he's really hungry, he can pull a "moby dick" and come up out of the water before you can get the food down into it. I think his aim up really close isn't so hot!
i almost had a species of mudskipper have me at work. jumped right up in the air to taste me, luckily i had cat like reactions that day and got out the way
also my 24 inch silver aro got me once not hard but not nice
also my 24 inch silver aro got me once not hard but not niceAhh the fun topic!
Lets see. I've been bitten by my old Jag a couple times. Once when hand feeding above the water he jumped to get a fish I was dangling. Jumped too far and nipped my finger. just enough to get a pin prick with his fang and draw blood. Another time he got me cause he and his lady were breeding and I got too close. that onedidn't hurt as much. He was just warning me to stay away. I did do the whole establish dominance with my cichlids so they for the most part knew that if they messed with me I would smack um. you really don't have to hit them just send a huge wave of water at them to let them understand that you are alot stronger then they are. You have to do that when their young or it wont work.
Also been bit by my old silver arro. was almost two feet. and again I was droppin food in the tank. He came up and bit me between my index and thumb. didn't hurt. he realized I wasen't food and didn't try and take anything with him.
recently I have a few convicts. they had bred and were in the main tank and I was movin some rocks around for them. (two females with a batch each co raising them) And they were attacking me. that was funny cause dosen't hurt at all. They ran from the flicking finger tho.
I have a 6" tiger right now. he stays as far away from me as possible when i'm in the tank.
I have a deep fear of when he gets bigger tho. I like my hands and arms. so I don't know how that is gonna work out.

That is some of the funniest stuff I have ever read on this site.
once when i was out on my kayak i hooked into a little 15 inch or so halibut, defiently not a monster but it decied to clamp down on my pinky with its 1 1/2 inch teeth like a pitbull and procede to flap about now i never put my finger in a buts mout, dead or alive, specially the 22 inch plus. thats about the worst but ive been bit my yellow bullheads, i thought it had crushed my finger bone, gar, and bowfin. but the halibut topped it all.
