The four-foot-long lemon shark initially took the bait off his fishing line. After cutting it loose, Munroe said the shark then went to the back of his boat and bit down on the motor, The Tribune reports.
To try get the shark to release its grip, Munroe raised the motor out of the water, but the determined fish hung on tight.
"I was so shocked…I didn't expect that at all. I cut the line and shook the engine slightly and he came off," Munroe said.
