Leave it up to Bruce! Never a recorded attack in Bimini. Apparently while sitting in water at honeymoon harbor he was feeding stingrays and sharks. Got distracted, was talking to someone on beach and 3’ lemon came in to remove bait from his hands. It nipped in the process on hands!

Well now that it’s out @Bruce at least you can honestly say you got attacked by a shark and it was no big deal, cool story.

I hope he doesn't bring litigation against Jetboaters.net for their part in his horrific ordeal. @Ronnie, are you available to represent us?

The best part may have been that I stood in the water and let it bleed out to clean out the wound occasionally washing the wound in salt water. I have not experienced any infection. However @Rana was quite concerned about my chumming the water with my own blood.

I would have stayed in the water until it stopped bleeding because I wouldn't want to drip blood in my boat.:D

As I tell my kids, wounds heal, the boat don’t!

If the “he” you referenced is the shark I want him as my client against jet boaters.net and Bruce after all the shark has a great reason for biting Bruce, it’s a shark. Poor thing may need dental/Ortho work, not to mention physical and emotional therapy. Then there are the legal fees. Hmmm, a lawyer representing a shark. Is this becoming the norm in the u.s. these days?

The shark would never have bitten @Ronnie due to professional courtesy.

The shark, my client, “toothless innocenti skate” has committed to bite down (this is how he signs documents) on a release and settlement in exchange for a late model 242 e, with trailer and a vehicle to tow it. contact me for a delivery details but do not be surprised that address is on the west coast since toothless is not only a residents of but also domiciled in Pacific Ocean.

Typical legal gibberish.
