Jacorey High, 21, was swimming with his fiancée at the Dunlawton Beach Approach in Daytona Beach Shores when he was bitten on the foot in waist-deep water. Volusia County Beach Safety described the shark as approximately 4 feet long. High said he pushed the shark farther into the water and moved his pregnant fiancée toward shore.

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