This is it? This is the shark attack everybody is talking about?  I mean I’ve been waiting for like 10 years for somebody to get eaten by a Great White and this is what I get?  I guy getting a bug bite on is foot?   Didn’t even rip it off?   Some people say they saw a shark fin?    They didn’t even close the damn beach?   Umm worst shark attack ever bro.   Like I’m not even convinced he got bitten by a shark.   Maybe a marlin or a stingray…definitely a game fish, but shark my ass.
