Blue Shark Bites Angler Off Cork Coast | Cork News

A 27-year-old angler had a terrifying encounter with a blue shark off the Cork coast—caught on his line, it bit down hard, latching onto his leg. With blood loss and fainting spells, he managed to tie off the wound before help arrived. RNLI teams and a Coast Guard helicopter raced to rescue him, airlifting him to Cork University Hospital for emergency surgery. Doctors say tissue reconstruction is needed, but experts reassure that blue sharks are typically non-aggressive—and this isn’t the first time such an incident has occurred in the area.
