Warren Sapp bitten by shark during lobster trip in Florida Keys

Former Hurricanes, Buccaneers defensive tackle continued lobster hunt

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Former Miami Hurricanes and Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp was bitten by a shark Wednesday while catching lobsters off the Florida Keys.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star posted a photograph on Twitter of himself and friends out on a charter boat.

Charter captain Jack Carlson told the Tampa Bay Times that Sapp was bitten on his left forearm while he was reaching for a lobster.

Two Conchs Charters posted a picture of Sapp's injury on Instagram.

However, the shark attack didn't stop Sapp's trip. He bandaged the gash and kept hunting for lobsters.

Sapp later posted a picture of his haul on Twitter.
