If he hadn't have been annoying the shark,I'm fairly sure the shark wouldn't have bitten him. Hope the sharks ok.!

If you dragged me into a boat with a hook in my mouth, I would bite. It wasn't an attack.

More likely a fishing accident than a shark attack.

Shenshen

What the... How in.... Just... What?
How do you get bitten by a shark while you're on a boat??? Did it leap out of the water and landed on board???

fryup

imagine if his mickey was bitten off,

could easily happen

I thought it was bad enough when I heard they had wild crocodiles there.

Yeah I'd have to agree, if you pull a shark out of the water and consequently get bitten by it while it's on your boat it's not really a shark attack is it?

Self defense on the part of the shark, if that's how it happened. I suspect it didn't safe the poor critter, though.

I haven't clicked on the story, but it is the journal, so almost guaranteed to be hysterical sensationalist bull and the reality is its some minor fishing incident

God help us if the indo or daily muck take it up.

What information in the news story linked to in the OP is incorrect? All it says is man bitten by shark while angling and then goes on to detail the rescue operation.

Is Cork trying to outdo Fungie or what?

I just read up on Blue Sharks, out of curiosity now.
Wiki says that between 1580 and 2013, there have been a total of 13 documented biting incidents from Blue Sharks. Makes you wonder what kind of a potential Darwin Award winner this "angler" is...

Exactly this. Video shared on the charter company's Facebook showing the guy being picked up by the RNLI with a bandage on his arm. The rest of the guys stayed out fishing by the looks of it.

that's a fair point. It's only OP that mentioned 'shark ATTACK!!!!'

On a similar note, although much more serious,
Spanish trawler detained in Cork for allegedly finning sharks in irish waters.
Boat should be confiscated and sunk.

Imagine the headlines when the first person is killed by a Great White in Irish waters.

Apparently it was a blue shark. After Googling blue shark, it seems they are always in a constant state of panicked worry







Or maybe they are all just doing an impression of Beaker from the muppets

Is that $3,000 bounty on the Shahhhk in cash or cheque?

I just watched a quick video on Youtube about blue sharks by a shark expert and he said categorically, They. Don't. Bite. People.

Well his reputation is now in tatters.

Always thought they only attacked if you were wet.

Well....they probably don't while in the water and being left alone.

Might be a bit different when they're trashing around on the deck of a fishing boat all stressed out like.

They were attempting to put a tag on it at the time apparently.

In the circumstance of this case it has been classified as an angling accident. It was no shark attack. The guys seemed to have made a mess of handling and tagging this fish.
