MARATHON, Fla. — Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp was bitten on the arm by a shark while catching lobster off the Florida Keys.

A photo posted by a fishing charter boat’s account on Instagram Wednesday appears to show Sapp’s arm with a deep gash.

Charter captain Jack Carlson told The Tampa Bay Times Sapp was bitten while reaching for a lobster the shark was also going after. He said Sapp was OK, but might need stitches. The captain said someone who saw the fish thought it might have been a nurse shark, about 4 feet long.

Sapp posted a picture of the lobster catch on Twitter along with a note, “Shark got a little chuck of Me. We got Dinner! #Winning.”
