Great White Shark JUMPS Into Boat Injuring 73 Year Old Fisherman!

Well here's a story that's hard to believe. I've heard of Great White sharks attacking surfers, swimmers and divers, but this takes it to a whole 'nother level!

Mr Selwood said the conditions on Saturday afternoon when the incident happened were smooth, and there was no surface fish or clear reason why the shark would breech.

"For some unknown reason he just launched himself out of the water and he must have come up four feet out of the water to clear my outboard motor and drop straight in the boat."

"He just bounced around in there and he struck my arm a couple of times and I thought he'd broke my arm to be honest but it's just torn the skin off it.

Reminds me of something I ... yes anyways informative post there

What did Mr. & Mrs. Jet Set have to say about it?
- just a snippet from a funny cartoon series I created, no need to keep it up past it's due date.This article made me think of this.

The revenge of the hunted and in their own habitat disturbed inhabitants.
Happens much too less, if you ask me...

this happened just off Evans Head NSW Australia , I'm a local here and when this happened any one would of thought that it was an arm robbery , as police cars just screamed down the main road all of them from different police stations . At first we thought the worst that some one had drown e.t.c however due to social media my family found out that it was a shark attack . Today when my ex came around . (she works in the local caravan park ) she informed me that the shark jumped into the boat not biting him but wounding him on one of his arms and that he headed back from sea to the rivers boat ramp wounded and the shark on board. That's the goss in town at the moment I'll share any more info I hear ( just remember though its a small town so with that comes the small town syndrome.

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat.

Ok if you're 73 and a Great White jumps in your boat
but only manages to bang into your arm a couple
times ? I say go buy a lottery ticket because your luck
could NOT get any better.

I thought great white sharks were grey and white from nose to fins.

That's just a baby Great White.

Still, if I were that bloke I'd be buying a lotto ticket!
