I was doing the dive feed in the 7500 that I am serviceing and the shark took a chunk out of my arm in the middle of the dive!! Its just a lepored shark, but its teeth are still sharp!! He was really hungry tonight!
 
Man, that sucks. How long is the shark?
I spent some time in the water tonight with sharks, too. Sadly, nothing fun happened to tell about.
 
the one that bit me was about 3 footer, at first it took some test nibbles on my other arm, then went in for the kill on the other arm. Sigh, I don't think it will scar which is too bad. Would love a war wound like that lol
 
Haha, so true. Just keep picking the scab off of it so it won't heal.
The stories are fun to tell....but it sucks while it's happening. Not too many people can show off shark bite scars, that's for sure.
 
A buddy of mine was fishing out in the Gulf and landing a small shark, not sure how big, I want to say at least 3-4 feet. Anyway, a hour or so goes by he figures the shark is dead, so he doesn't pay much attention to it while he's doing working near it. It must have been waiting for the right moment because it clamped down on his hand when he wasn't looking. I would have loved to have seen this. After he gets his hand free. He nails it with a bat, skins it, scoops it's brains out and has his sister cook it up for him, and eats it. Then he mounted the skeleton over his computer table to remind him of his adventure. He showed off his war wounds for a good little while. Then I found out he was depressed because it was healing up. "What's wrong man, you lost your cool points?" :hitting:
 
if its any good, take a pic. otherwise, do what zoodiver said, or tattoo it on lol
 
This is the close up of the bite

Give you some perspective on the size

It was kind of funny because at first on my left arm he took some gentle nibbles seeing if I was food, swam away returned and took three chomps on my other arm!
