Shark bites man after fish release

24 June 2023

FLORIDA fisho Michael Russo captured this crazy footage of a shark biting his friend’s hand after releasing a snook in the Everglades National Park.

“After releasing a 27” snook a close friend put his hands in the water to wash his hands and was immediately bit by a large bullshark,” he said.

“Please take this as a lesson and keep your hands and feet inside of the boat because this could have been prevented,” said Russo.

Russo said his friend was airlifted to hospital following the incident.

Today was one if the scariest days on the water i have ever had. It started iff great and we were crushing the fish but the sharks were eating some of our fish despite our best efforts. After releasing a 27” snook a close friend put his hands in the water to wash his hands and was immediatly bit by a large bullshark. There was no chum or blood in the water and the sharks were unprovoked. The sharks are no joke in Everglades National Park and the warnings about keeping your hands and feet inside if the boat are not an exaggeration. Please take this as a lesson and keep your hands and feet inside of the bkat because this could have been prevented. He was immediatly rushed back to the boat ramp at full speed and the park rangers were a lifesaver (literally) he was airlifted to the hospital and is cufrently in the best care possible. #sharkattack #bullshark #evergladesnationalpark #tarpon #fishing #crabs #firstmate #beach #boat #fish #livebait #charterfishing #tuna #goliathgrouper #goliath #getoutside #fishingguide #captain #flatsfishing #redfishnation #snook
