Man catches shark – shark bites man

In Australia a guy reels in a 200 pound shark, gets it up on the dock, then gets bit and almost dies. Now there is a moral to this story somewhere. Perhaps not to catch something bigger than you, or at least something with a much larger mouth and teeth than you have. Perhaps the you should know not to step on a shark’s tail, even if he is not in the water.

Excerpt from story found at Newsvine:

The man had been fishing for tuna when he reeled in the 10-foot shark and landed it on the deck.

“He stepped on its tail and it whipped around and latched on to his tight calf, biting through to the bone,” Russell said.

“The shark had his leg clamped in its jaws for several minutes until other deckhands cut its head off,” he added.
