FORT MYERS, Fla. – Justin Stuller was looking forward to relaxing in the Florida Keys — fishing, lobstering and swimming with his wife, kids, extended family and friends.
Until a shark bit him.
Stuller, 38, now sports two dozen stitches and a small limp after he tangled with an eight-foot lemon shark Wednesday.
Stuller said he has encountered sharks before on similar trips. Some have even snatched fish he speared as he swam back to the boat, but he's never been bitten before. At least, not by a shark.
"I did get bit by an alligator," he said. And a spider, he said, showing the scars of both on his leg.
