Fisherman Bitten by Shark

A fisherman was airlifted to a Miami-Dade County hospital Sunday evening after a shark he caught bit him as he tried to remove the hook from its mouth.

Officer Jason Rafter, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, stated that the man, who has not been named, was bitten on the hand by what witnesses describe as a 6-foot-long lemon shark.

He caught the shark, reeled it in and “got too close to its mouth” as he tried to remove the hook to release the fish, Rafter stated.

Medics flew the man by helicopter to Jackson South Medical Center. His condition is not immediately known. The incident happened between 5:30 and 6 pm near Content Keys, a group of mangrove-covered islands north of Big Torch Key in the Lower Keys, Rafter stated.

This is considered a provoked incident.
