Info from Licensor: "Some of the guys from our vacation trip Mike, Colton, Phil, and Elliot booked a chartered fishing trip. After reeling in bluefish for a of couple hours, the captain decided to put us on a shark. Within 10 minutes, Colton had a shark hooked and spent roughly 15 minutes reeling it in. Once it was brought close enough to the boat, Rick and his first mate Josh gaffed the shark and pulled it over the edge. When it hit the deck, it grabbed a hold of Rick by his leg and wouldn't let go. As Rick and Josh held the shark still, the rest of the crew scrambled to get a knife. Josh killed the shark with the knife, releasing Rick from its grasp. Rick quickly asked for bleach to disinfect the open wound and poured it on his leg. He then wrapped his leg with paper towels and duct tape to cover it. He then got back behind the wheel of the boat and took us back to the dock."
