Hawaiian fisherman knocked out shark

To save his life, a fisherman from the Big Island in Hawaii engaged in a tiger shark attacking him. The predator grabbed Braxton Rocha in the leg, and he hit her in the nose with all his might.

A twenty-seven-year-old fisherman swam in the ocean about fifty meters from the coast in search of fish. Usually he hunts with the help of improvised means for local residents, for example, with a spear. After checking the underwater cave, Braxton realized that a giant tiger shark, the largest he had ever seen, crept in unnoticed to him. The predator clutched at his leg with massive jaws.

“I leaned back and hit her in the nose. She let go of my leg and swam away, ”Braxton Rocha said later. According to him, he did not immediately realize that he was wounded because of the surge of adrenaline and the sharpness of the shark's teeth. When the predator let him go, blood spurted out and the fisherman got scared. He also feared that the shark would return due to blood.

A friend who stayed on the shore helped the victim out of the water. Rocha had to shout for a few minutes for him to hear. Fortunately, the leg was able to save. He put about a hundred stitches.
