Jamie Hall said the shark bite occurred at a spot known as Nightcliff Jetty while he was fishing with friends on Saturday afternoon.
An Australian man was taken to hospital over the weekend after being bitten on the leg by an unidentified species of shark while on a fishing trip with friends.the bite occurred at a spot known as the Nightcliff Jetty on Saturday afternoon while he was attempting to help an acquaintance pull in a shark.The man said he was hoping to gift the fish to a friend who uses shark bones to make jewelry. But the captured animal apparently had other ideas.
He indicated the chances of not getting bitten again were in his favor. He said:"We get GTs [giant trevally], barra [barramundi] and coral trout—there's generally a good spread of species there. I've caught a swag of shark there before and I've been bitten by one, so you know, what's the odds?" In February, a man was bitten on the arm by a whitetip reef shark while he was spearfishing off the Northern Territory. Karl Waters, 25,
