Warren Sapp OK after being bitten by shark while on lobstering trip

Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp found himself battling a shark while on a lobstering charter boat off the Florida Keys on Wednesday. While Sapp was going for a lobster, the shark got a piece of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star's left forearm.

"He was lobstering with me and a shark bit Sapp while he was grabbing the lobster. He's OK," charter captain Jack Carlson told the Tampa Tribune.

The Instagram account of Carlson's boat, Two Conchs, posted a photo of Sapp's gash (warning: graphic image).

However, the attack didn't stop Sapp's trip.
