Galeston, Texas surfer Chad Rogers, 20, never expected to get bitten by a shark, according to a story in the Galveston News. But that didn’t stop what he believes to be a 5 foot bullshark from getting a bite in.
“When I pulled my foot out, I was bleeding all over the place,” Rogers said in an interview with YourTownTV.com. “I was kind of freaking out. I never thought I would get bitten by a shark. . . “After that, we had a race to get (to shore.) I just remember getting bit and trying to get the hell out of the water.” . . . Rogers said in addition to a large gash, he had “nibble marks” from the shark on his toes.
Rogers used his other foot to push the shark away and then hopped a quarter mile to his car. The surfers foot now has between 50 and 60 stitches on it, but other than that he’s fine.
