It is believed he had been reeling the shark aboard a fishing boat more than 100 nautical miles off Coolangatta today.
"I reeled the bugger in and as I yanked the shark into the boat, one of his fins brushed my leg So it was more of a graze than a bite per se. Look, you can see the scar. No, that's a birthmark. See that one, right, umm, oh hang on it was on the other leg. It bloody hurt. Really, it did."
The man was winched onboard an RACQ CareFlight helicopter about 10.30am (AEST) and was taken to Gold Coast Hospital for treatment.
A spokesman for CareFlight said the tuna boat was from Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. Though what this has to do with the story is anyone's guess.
