Sources from Daytona Beach, Florida, announce that after a recent shark attack, the man bit the shark back.
“I don’t know what came over me, truthfully. I was catching some waves on my surfboard, then this big creature came out of nowhere,” said Jason Tighe, wiping blood from his jaw as the great white shark swam sheepishly away, blood streaming from multiple bite wounds on its body. “One second this shark’s jaws were locked around my leg. The only thing in my mind was this insane drive to fight back. Next thing I knew, I was chomping down on the shark’s vulnerable gill region, then its dorsal fin.”
“People always say sharks are cartilaginous fish, but I didn’t realize how true that was until I had a mouthful of pure cartilage,” continued Tighe, gnashing his teeth as he re-enacted how he seized the shark and sunk his teeth deep into its salty flesh. “I mean, would I bite a shark again? Probably not. But was it a valuable experience in the moment? Hundred percent.”
At press time, Tighe’s attack was boosting excitement in the shark community for the first-ever Human Week TV special.
