I was wade fishing at the tip of Petit Bois Island. I caught a Spanish on a Gotcha plug. It sliced my finger open good and I drove one of the trebles into another finger just past the barb. I went ahead and pulled it back out against the barb. The finger the Spanish got was bleeding quite a bit. I was blotting it on my shirt while I continued to fish but a good bit of blood was going into the water. After about 3 minutes of steady bleeding I saw a silhouette of what looked like about a 6 foot long bull shark ease up toward me. That gave me the cold willies.
