Warren Sapp likes to fish, but Wednesday he learned what the bait feels like.
The retired Bucs defensive tackle, a regular on South Florida's Two Conchs charter boat, was bitten in the left arm by a shark while diving for lobster out of Marathon in the Florida Keys.
"I was sticking my hand in a hole and a monster locked on me," Sapp said. "You've got to be careful sticking your hand in some holes down here.
"It went past the white meat, up to the gristle."
Sapp, 43, was out with charter captain Jack Carlson on Florida Bay, about 7 miles out from Marathon in 9 feet of water.
