Warren Sapp OK after being bitten by shark while on lobstering trip

Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp found himself battling a shark while on a lobstering charter boat off the Florida Keys on Wednesday. While Sapp was going for a lobster, the shark got a piece of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star's left forearm.

"He was lobstering with me, and a shark bit Sapp, while he was grabbing the lobster. He's OK," charter captain Jack Carlson told the Tampa Bay Times.

The Instagram account of Carlson's boat, Two Conchs, posted a photo of Sapp's gash (warning: graphic image).

However, the attack didn't stop Sapp's trip. "We bandaged it up, put some gauze on there, some black electrical tape and hit a couple more spots, then headed in," Carlson said.

Sapp later posted a picture on Twitter featuring his lobster haul, most of them hopefully caught with a lot less drama.

While Sapp appears to be OK, he did tweet that the shark won the battle.
