That Coast Guard shark warning was serious. Just one day after issuing the warning, an 8-foot-long blue shark chomped on fisherman Frank Joseph's arm. But Joseph and his two angler friends were just trying to return the shark to the wild!
Joseph had reeled the shark into the boat at around 12:30 p.m. yesterday while fishing in the Moriches Inlet. The three men attempted to remove the hook from the shark's mouth, but
it rolled over and bit Joseph in his right bicep. He was helicoptered to Stony Brook University Medical Center, where he is currently undergoing treatment. The wound was reportedly not that deep, so hopefully it won't completely ruin his holiday!
