Warren Sapp was badly bitten in the arm by a shark while lobster fishing, or "lobstering," Wednesday in the Florida Keys. While lobstering with Jack Carlson on his charter, Two Conchs, Sapp reached out for the same lobster as a small nurse shark, which was "perhaps four feet long," according to what one witness told the Tampa Bay Times.   

Even though Sapp sustained a pretty gruesome injury to his left forearm, he continued fishing. "We bandaged it up, put some gauze on there, some black electrical tape and hit a couple more spots, then headed in," Carlson said. The 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee seems to be taking the entire ordeal in stride, discussing the aftermath of the bite by making light of the situation on Twitter.

As for the moment you've all been waiting for, here's the photo of the bite. Oh, make sure you're not thoroughly enjoying dinner right now because that meal may go straight into the garbage. 

When discussing Sapp's injury, Carlson said he "may need stitches." Um, ya think?!
