Your Tuesday Morning Florida Report

A surfer has had two shark encounters and has lived to tell the tale.

Florida surfer and fishboat captain Cole Taschman was first attacked by a shark in 2013 at Bathtub Beach near Jupiter, Florida. That time “was a tiny, little reef pup,” he told WPTV.

Fast forward more than a decade. Taschman was at the same beach and was bitten by a shark, again. This time a much bigger one, about seven to eight feet long attacked his legs, WPTV reported.

  2. Statistically it's still safer swimming in the ocean than walking down many streets in Democrat controlled cities

  3. Back when I was roughnecking out in the gulf I would see sharks swimming around the rig. They would eat the smaller fish that stayed under it..
    There was a huge hammerhead that was swimming around one afternoon. The rig was 100 ft above the water and it still looked huge..
    Glad he's going to be okay

    1. He's developing a taste for that dude. You know, honing his skills.

  5. The wet equivalent of "I wonder if there's a bear in this cave?"

  6. That reef/beach is in Stuart FL right down the road from me. It gets its name because when the tide goes out the reef forms a natural bathtub near the beach. Sharks are always there, and so are the surfers. It's considered one of the top FL spots to surf. Surfers gotta surf, fish gotta eat.
