Jacorey High, 21, was wading at the Dunlawton Beach approach when a shark bit his left foot shortly before 5:30 p.m. He was treated at the scene and transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. His family said he suffered extensive ligament and tendon damage to his foot, and he was released from the hospital on Monday.

This record is kept by NSB Watch, a watchmaker on this beach. One of its dive watches is named the Shark Bite.
