Shark Attack in Maui

While fishing from his kayak, the unnamed victim was attacked by the shark.  He and his companion, also unnamed, were fishing for bait fish with artificial lures when the shark bit the foot of the man as he dangled it in the water.  After falling into the water, the shark came up and bit again on the thigh of the same leg.  Said companion then tried to stem the severe bleeding by tying a tourniquet to the man's leg.  A rescue boat was called quickly and arrived within a few minutes.  Once back to shore, the victim was rushed to a hospital, but it is believed that he died on the rescue boat on the way to shore.  This is the 13th shark attack in Hawaii this year, and the 8th in Maui alone.

  2. sharks would probably like the taste of legs much more if you seasoned 'em up before you swim
