Shark pulls man from pier
Mark Coghill was relaxing Monday afternoon, fishing on his vacation on Fort Myers Beach, but a shark changed all that.
Coghill, from Greencastle, Ind., said another fisherman, who was fishing on the other side of the pier, hooked a 6-foot blacktip shark and didn’t let go. The shark pulled him off the pier into the water.
“The shark was kinda pulling him around,” Coghill said. “It was pretty exciting.”
The man, whose name Coghill never got, didn’t speak English very well, but motioned to onlookers that he couldn’t swim.
“No one helped,” he said. “I said, ‘I guess that’s my cue.’ ”
