THIS is the horrifying moment a fisherman had his finger bitten off after approaching the beast off the coast of Florida.
The shocking footage shows the man having his little finger bitten off after attempting to catch the predator with his bare hands.
The video shows the man who is on a boat attempting to hold down the beast.
The fisherman can be seen holding the shark by its tail as the animal is frantically trying to be freed from his grip.
And as the man does not let it go, the shark bites his finger, while a painful crunch can be heard.
The beast twists underwater a few times, still biting on the fisherman’s finger as stunned onlookers- including a child- are watching.
