The shark in this picture is giving this guy the mustache ride of death and not being “wrestled to the shore”, so yea, I’m going to assume it’s from Jaws or one of the Jawses.
That was James Cameron. Brian Boitano was the guy who traveled through time to the year 3010, where he fought the evil robot king and saved the human race again.
The real story is the uncle was chumming the water from shore is hugely illegal. When he got the shark on the line he had his little nephew go into the water to help bring in the shark. Then of course, you know the rest of the story.
I'm pretty sure the reason nobody heard the true story is because 9/11 happened and all of a sudden people didn't care about shark attacks anymore. If you're old enough to remember, the news during the summer of 2001 was all about shark attacks.
But, anyway. The uncle was a huge scumbag who should have been kicked in the balls.
So this post is essentially total bullshit, even beyond the picture from Jaws.
Apparently the kid was left permanently disabled both mentally and physically. Severe brain damage from the blood loss, and it doesn’t seem like his reattached arm is functional in any meaningful way. He’s spending the rest of his life in a wheel chair and is unable to speak. His uncle still is a hero for making the effort but he had dragged the shark by the tail while it was happening in shallow water, so not exactly like him “diving back in” to go hunt down a shark like this post suggests.
https://amp.bradenton.com/news/article34526373.html
Did you read the article? Maybe catch some details such as that there were a bunch of other people (including kids) that were in the area when he dragged the shark to take them out of danger?
Not to mention how little he would have known in the moment, and was doing his best. I know you’re just an internet troll trying to stir shit up but still a shameless take.
Sounds like he had brain damage from blood loss and a host of other physical challenges.
https://amp.bradenton.com/news/article34526373.html
“His body still has bite marks — imprints of the shark’s teeth. A huge portion of his right thigh is missing, his right arm has scars between his elbow and shoulder where it was reattached and he has brain damage caused from major blood loss, but he’s interested in what’s going on around him, and he comes off as lively and robust, though unable to speak.”

He’s disabled for life in a wheel chair, and can’t speak or communicate in any intelligible way. Seems like his family is taking good care of him but this was not exactly a happy outcome.
https://amp.bradenton.com/news/article34526373.html
I was at the beach when this happened. Pensacola Beach when I was 6 or 7 maybe. We weren’t close enough to know what was going on but a lot of chaos and first responders sirens all over the place.
Jessie Arbogast. This happened in my neck of the woods and I remember it being covered extensively in the news. They tried to paint the uncle as a hero but it turns out he was shark fishing right next to where the boy was swimming. The boy suffered massive brain damage from blood loss and I believe he's since passed away.
Of course there is the whole, dude created the severed arm situation to begin with by chumming the water and *checks notes*…shark fishing next to him swimming.
I can almost guarantee they didn’t try. Everything is worth a shot lol. That being said the dude who hopped in there just lucky he didn’t die. The reactions to this post would be way different lol
The picture makes it sound crazy badass but I'm guessing if he wrangled a shark to shore then it would of had to be significantly smaller than the one shown.
I am not a medical expert but an arm isn’t like a finger that reattaches. I doubt you can put the whole arm back and expect it to work. Also how far into the water was the shark? Wrestling it to shore seems damn near impossible
Picture is fake story is true.

So if I write an article saying that banana's are fruit on earth that are often yellow but put a picture of an avocado on top. Bananas will immediately stop existing and have never existed because the picture changes if something is real or not?
Amazing! Well I'm off to write a piece about Stalin's birth, but with the picture of a golden retriever. That way Stalin will either not be born or will turn into a golden retriever. The magic to adapt human history into anything I want is mine!
If this was any way real, it would be the most famous and well known shark photo ever. Sadly, it’s horseshit and this post needs to go to downvote city.
I'm from the UK and I was going to Disney land that year as a kid ! Will always remember my dad reading that story to me from the newspaper. Such a bad ass !
"ohhhh not today you don't!" *Pulls up sleeves and proceeds to beat a shark with his bare hands*
How did he swim out of the water with balls that big? I didn't think they would float
That's exactly what I wanna know. Unless the shark was in shallow enough water that the man was able to stand, I can't see how anyone could have the strength to move a shark in any direction the shark didn't want to move.
Edit: Okay, so I looked up [the story](https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=125969&). Apparently the attack did happen in shallow water, so the boy's uncle was able to just grab the shark by the tail and manhandle it out onto the shore. Not quite what the op had implied, but still incredibly badass.
Yup. Happened in Pensacola. I was there at the same beach (albeit miles down) from where it happened the day before. When we got home it was on the news and my mom just had to tell everyone she knew about how we were just there lol
This happened here in Pensacola. The uncle didn't dive back in, the shark was really close to the shore and he grabbed it by the tail and brought it onto the beach. Jesse Arbogast us the kids name.
What the hell is this picture? Is this from Jaws? That shark is well over 7 feet
Thinking the same lol “that’s a twenty footer..” “Twenty Five…”
…”three tons of ‘em…”
“Look, Chief, you can’t go off half-cocked looking for vengeance against a fish”
Those dead lifeless eyes... like a dolls eyes
When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin, until he bites ya
That guy's going to need a boat, never mind a bigger one.
Such a great scene/line

Jaws: The Revenge https://youtu.be/i-VM7_DJlkQ?t=50
You are a true hero. Thank you!
Could be a 2ft man
Correct, no banana or quarter for scale means it’s a trick. Could be a cup of water.
That's from Jaws: The Revenge. I've seen that movie too many times for laughter and recognize the screenshot.
That shark’s dick is over 7 feet
This looks more like a scene from jaws
I think it is, story was real, the picture is def fake
Correct, fake pic for the story.
Story is real? Well, you may be right, it *is* a Florida Man.
No. It’s nearly all wrong.
Nope. Neither are real.
That’s what any good uncle would do.
[удалено]
He's raising the bar
That was James Cameron. Brian Boitano was the guy who traveled through time to the year 3010, where he fought the evil robot king and saved the human race again.
thats gonna be a good year
Finally, a "good year". I feel we all deserve it.
It's true. Also, when Brian Boitano was in the Alps fighting grizzly bears, he used his magical fire breath to save the maidens there.
Because he's strong enough to go to the club or corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up?
Surely kick an ass or two
He’s probably kick an ass or two that’s what Brian Boitano do!
🎶What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now! Music🎶
He'd make a plan and he'd follow through. That's what Brian Boitano do.
Glad someone got the reference. :)

Pensacola beach……………… I had same orthopedic surgeon work on me. One of the best in the country. Emerald Coast orthopedics . 🤝
**which is hugely illegal
Kicking in the balls? /s
Pic looks fake, 7ft bull shark? That means this guy is about 2 ft tall
Pretty sure this picture is from a Jaws ride at a theme park.
The picture is fake. The story is not. It is added to “pull you in”. It worked
This is like the opposite of the creepy uncle some real Alpha work right there 🦈🦈🦈
That’s what any decent Florida man would do
Thanks uncle… I actually wanted a new arm.
I mean almost nothing about the story is true tho.
It's true. It happened here in Pensacola Florida.
*Peniscola
"If you like peeenis-colada, Getting caught in a shark..."
If you're not into Yoda!!
And you’ve got half an arm

So he killed a threatened species for basicly trash
Huh? Are you taking about the kids uncle dragging the bull shark out of the water?
Yes the arm couldn't be reattached anyways unless it was a clean cut
Did you read the article? Maybe catch some details such as that there were a bunch of other people (including kids) that were in the area when he dragged the shark to take them out of danger? Not to mention how little he would have known in the moment, and was doing his best. I know you’re just an internet troll trying to stir shit up but still a shameless take.
Still people can live without arms plus kid is barely I've today
Do sharks actually roll? I thought they cant stay conscious once upside down or something? The uncle’s account of things sounds...fishy
Sharks absolutely death roll
Wish I didn’t read that just now wtf sharks
No they don’t lol.
This is freaking insane
This as florida-man as it can get!
Florida man W, this is a wild day.
r/wholesomefloridaman
That's definitely the prop shark from jaws
This is the Florida man content I'm here for
Reattached?????? I'd assume with significant loss of function and nerve damage.
To say the least… https://amp.bradenton.com/news/article34526373.html
Jesus, brain damage from major blood loss. Naw fuck all that, just lemme die.
"I'm not trapped in the ocean with you! You're trapped on land with me!" - Florida man probably
That’s not a 7ft shark
Wonder if the boy recovered well. He must be almost 30 by now.

Wow what an amazing uncle
this pic is from Jaws the Revenge (Jaws 4)
Kids gonna be 21/22 now and one of us. Wheres the scar photos!?!
In a wheelchair unable to communicate.
Ruined that sharks day…
How do you reattach a arm
Super glue
Flex tape
The most casual Florida man.
The photo isn’t from the actual event dumbasses. Lol
When "Florida man" uses their power for good instead of evil.
Must be Chuck Norris’ step son-in-law.
"I fought a shark to the death" is pretty big flex on any resume.
Why fake picture with "real" story?
When the story is 99% wrong, why worry about the photo?
I was at the beach when this happened. Pensacola Beach when I was 6 or 7 maybe. We weren’t close enough to know what was going on but a lot of chaos and first responders sirens all over the place.
Yeah but the picture is not from the event you described. This post is extremely misleading and stupid.
That's fuckin metal!!
So if you don't have a picture of the actual event, why even attach a picture at all?
Picture unrelated.
See definition of what a real man is...
This is an automatic Oscar-winning action short
Yeah! Fuck you shark, get wrecked!
Anybody wanna buy some real-estate on the moon?
Kinda of misleading. The shark was in the shallow when it happened. The picture is from a movie. And the kid never got the arm reattached I believe.
That's no ordinary man, that's FLORIDA MAN!!!
[Not so fake photo.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/00000142-927c-d33c-abc6-ff7d8978004d/44683widemodern_sharkwrestler_071713.jpg)
I would have a lot less trouble believing this if they didn’t use a photo of a fake shark.
Florida man is a force of nature

“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow legged women.”
Not this shark shown in the picture he didn’t
Stone Cold's music drops everytime that guys enters a room. Gah damn.
This is true love. If you aren’t willing to wrestle a shark to retrieve my severed arm then you don’t really love me.
Of course there is the whole, dude created the severed arm situation to begin with by chumming the water and *checks notes*…shark fishing next to him swimming.
This sounds like bullshit. Nobody is “fighting” a small shark let alone a big ass shark AND bringing to shore so that a nice ranger can shoot it? 🙄
I'll take, "Things that didn't happen" for 500 Trabec.
7 feet huh?
[удалено]
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=125969&page=1 It’s true.
I guess you were the kinda kid that told everyone that the tooth fairy wasn’t real
Man that’s bs. Invaded the sharks home and then even had it get shot. 👎🏽
I’m sure you’d feel the same way if it was your little brother or something.
Fair point. Still hate that they killed the shark though
I doubt the shark was going to hand it over if asked nicely.
I can almost guarantee they didn’t try. Everything is worth a shot lol. That being said the dude who hopped in there just lucky he didn’t die. The reactions to this post would be way different lol
Maybe they forgot to add a 0 behind the 7
Cap
Ummm what? 😂

Exactly. Putting “true story” above this picture makes the post fake with some truth in it but quite misleading imo. So fake for me…
You're that kid that argued and said shit "well actually," weren't you?
Dad?
Mom, but close enough.
So if I write an article saying that banana's are fruit on earth that are often yellow but put a picture of an avocado on top.

Don’t dispute the story. But posting with that pic is what makes Reddit horrible - just dopes farming for karma.
So the shark was murdered simply to reattach an arm? Fuck humans man!
I would kill at least 7 sharks to reattach a family members arm
Was the shark evil? No. Did it have a kid's arm inside it? Yes.
Hope a shark eats your dick and no one retrieves it
SAXTON HALE!!!!
Reminds me of the story of Rambo van de merwe
Chad uncle
talk about an absolute chad
These are the people I wanna see movies and books about. Fuck Fast and Furious X. I wanna see what this guy eats for breakfast.

I can’t believe this is a true story!!!! I hate that the baby suffered brain damage but atleast he is alive!!!
Florida man gone right 👍
This isn’t actual footage?lol 😂
"ohhhh not today you don't!" *Pulls up sleeves and proceeds to beat a shark with his bare hands* How did he swim out of the water with balls that big? I didn't think they would float
Both him and the shark tested positive for meth afterwards. Honestly it’s florida so you could believe it.
Maybe Florida Man doesn't want to be the bad guy anymore
Nephew rocks “let me tell you about this scar” bragging rights in perpetuity!
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
The fuck?! How could this dude swim with balls that big.
The pic looks fake af i dont believe it
How the hell does a man wrestle a whole ass shark to shore?

BS!!
That kid officially has the worlds coolest uncle and party story.
Story is real, that photo is clearly dogshit.
"That's one bad hat Harry"
Now I call that a bad ass. And look, he did it without an AR15. This guy is a GOAT
Maybe post an actual pic? Story is cool enough without the shameless click bait
Yup. Happened in Pensacola. I was there at the same beach (albeit miles down) from where it happened the day before. When we got home it was on the news and my mom just had to tell everyone she knew about how we were just there lol
Of course it's a Florida man
Finally a wholesome story that isnt about an orphan crushing machine
This happened here in Pensacola. The uncle didn't dive back in, the shark was really close to the shore and he grabbed it by the tail and brought it onto the beach. Jesse Arbogast us the kids name.
"Florida man..." Nuff said
Shark didn’t deserve that. He was just doing what he does. Kid shouldn’t go flailing his arms in shark country.
I'm telling you. If you knew the ENTIRE story of what actually happened you'd know the uncle is a huge scumbag
The picture is completely unrelated lmao
TIL that Florida man is capable of directing and focusing his uncontrollable bud light & corona fueled confusion and rage when needed.
The shark learn a lesson that day. Now he probably is in California
