James Grant đang câu cá với bạn bè vào một ngày thứ Bảy thì một con cá mập tấn công anh. Anh ấy không nhìn thấy gì, nhưng anh ấy cảm thấy đau đột ngột ở chân. Ban đầu, anh nghĩ rằng bạn bè đang chơi khăm mình. Anh ta quay lại - nhưng không ai ở phía sau anh ta. Sau đó anh ta nhận ra điều gì đang xảy ra.
May mắn thay, James mang theo một con dao nên anh đã dùng nó để chống lại con cá mập. Sau đó, anh ta ra khỏi nước và nhìn vào chân của mình. Vết cắn dài 5 cm và chảy rất nhiều máu. James làm sạch chân của mình. Sau đó, anh ấy và bạn bè của mình đến một quán cà phê gần đó! Trong khi họ đang thưởng thức đồ uống, ai đó đã đưa cho James băng cá nhân vì chân anh đang chảy máu.
