A man is recovering after being bitten by a 12-foot bull shark Tuesday.

The bite victim was transported from Phil Foster Park and was conscious and responsive, Riviera Beach Police spokeswoman Rose Anne Brown said.

According to news partner WPTV Channel 5, the victim is Anthony Segrich, 32. Segrich and his two friends were out on the water spearfishing for much of the day and had made about five to six drops with no problem. But on the last dive things quickly changed within minutes.

"He shot a fish and he was bringing the fish up it seemed like the shark went to go grab the fish and he missed it and got his leg", said Tony Crumprine.

John Ippolito was in the water when the strike happened. "I think he was more 'did it really get me' or he didn't know because it happened like that and then he started to see a little bit of blood and that's when he started screaming."

The men quickly got Segrich out of the water and wrapped his leg with a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, WPTV reports.

"He was scared. Everybody was scared but we got it done," said Crumprine.

His friends said he suffered a large bite wound to his calf. They said doctors removed more skin and fat than muscle. They expect him to have full use of his leg once he recovers.

Segrich was last listed in stable condition.

From what I understand they were off of singer island which is known for being pretty sharky, I heard about it from a friend who fishes that area often. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

very funny vid. would have been a little nerve wrecking being in that rib with the whales below looking for the penguin. Apparently a penguins fear of man is less than its fear of orca

still not looking good - I think I'm going to sit this one out. I'm off thursday/friday so hopefully it will be nicer by then

Anybody going to try to brave the weather this sunday???

maybe you can wet sand it????

I wish tuna would come check me out when I'm on the reef. I would have definitely shot it.

I tie my gun to my float line(its not a floatline, just the line that goes to my flag float) mostly in case I need to anchor my flag while lobstering or if I want/need to let go of my gun. which has been useful when attaching fish to board/stringer I can just drop the gun and pull it back to me when I've sorted out what I need to do. also keeps me from having to hold my float's line or tie it to myself.

Quote from Matt

Barracudas are easily taken without float or reel. Shoot them in the top half of their body preferably the head and pull them to you. Then straddle and brain them.

sounds dangerous if it doesnt stone him and your pulling his business end at you.

congrats! it seems there is quite a honda following where you are

keep listing cali's positives guys! the more people that leave here to go there means less competition and more fish for me <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Very cool thank you, I'll start paying more attention and see if I notice quicker progress diving.

I know a month or 2 ago they were really thick here, But I dont know if there is actually a "season" where they are more prevalent.

[QUOTE= A 30 meter dive takes 30 seconds down and 30 seconds up (meter per second of travel time).[/QUOTE]

I must swim really slow.... I'm going to try to pay more attention to that and see if I've just never noticed or If I need to weight myself differently/fin harder.

I too have the new pursuit reel and like it, however I've never used anything else(except the old pursuit reel)

most of his depths looked pretty doable for me, I'll have to look at a map of palm beach and see if I can figure out where they are.

Hes in WPB just wondering if he was a member here or if anyone knew him.

I think his close encounter off the beach with a fiesty shark has made it on this site before, but he has some much more impressive videos.
