(CNN) -- Another teenager was the victim of a shark attack in the Gulf of Mexico, law enforcement officials on the Florida panhandle said Monday.

Christa Hild, a spokeswoman for Bay Medical Center in Panama City, said the boy was in critical condition with severe injuries and was in the operating room. She said his family was on the way.

Laura Taylor, secretary for the Gulf County Sheriff's Department, told CNN that the attack happened at Cape San Blas on St. Joseph's Peninsula. She had no further information.

WMBB reporter Kira Mathis told CNN the boy was fishing on a sandbar, about 50 yards from shore, with another boy when the attack took place. He was taken to a nearby hospital and then flown to Bay Medical Center by helicopter.

Witnesses told Mathis he was "in and out of consciousness."

In Panama City, Hild said the boy arrived shortly before noon

JAWS II

wow that was a fast sequal lol

I don't know which is worse... the (rare) shark bite incidents or the media feeding frenzy on a slow news day.

oh boy! They have a man eater in their hands. They should have sent helicopters to search for the shark after the first attack happened. But they were eating shit, and now it happened again.

And you said it was rare earlier this morning.

you would think after hearing there's sharks there people would be carefull

If you do not want to be eaten, stay off the plate :)

Rare to get killed yes.

them sharks aint playing :(

damn...that shit is scurry. I'll stick to the pool, thank you.

Doesnt look like it happened in Florida.

And I saw a squirrel today.

Then in that case, technically it's rare to get killed from a gunshot wound, but that doesn't necessarily make it safe.

They're gonna need a bigger boat.

Bingo

678

Every year there are shark attacks in Florida. You only hear about the ones that the press blast out there and make light of. Unfortunately its one of the risks that you take going into the ocean. This time of year sharks come closer to shore and this is when the attacks normally happen.

Beware of the gators.

Cape San Blas thats Florida

That anology has no weight in this thread.

Thats like saying my Dick isn't safe because if I take virgra it gets hard and knocks over lamps that could electute me and harm me.

Ahh Panama City, Florida.

Yep right on the tip

KMR have you been over to CoCo latley? I know the sharks are kinda think in the waters over there. they usually have incidents over there on a regular basis.

whoaaa...second time in this board... and what it was just posted several hours ago... thats some scarry shit.. i dunno why they still keep it open knowing that there's a shark lurking around

I've had sharks take my dive bag out of my hands,
fish I've speared out of my hands,
Brushed against me several dozen times,
I still go swimming

but never without a mask on

You are kidding, right ?

Yeah, I have been over at cocoa beach a lot.. I surf right next to the peir a lot I see them pull up 5-10 sharks a day mostly all Shovel/Hammer/Spinners "very small 12inches-18inches"

NSI is where all the big sharks that bother me are at.. Last time I was there I saw a 6 footer :-)

I find it so funny.. to read all those shark attacks.. why is it that sharks ONLY attack on weeks/days that there are no other big news? lol

Watch something happen and watch how there are no more shark attacks! So gay!

There's something to be said for boating on the great lakes! :)

That really sucks! I really hope hes ok!

Damn,. And as summer heats up, watch for many more.

Yesterday's attack and todays are about 60 miles apart, the odds of it being the same shark are very slim...

thats crazy i wonder if it was the same shark?

whoah...that was fast....

I cant stop watching the collision in your sig :1orglaugh :helpme

Shark attacks are rare.. less than 100 per year I think.. this must be something odd where they've decided to push up prey in shallows in the gulf or something.

They had to amputate this kids leg today :(

Beaches near those areas should be closed for now..

yes they should...

damn #2 pfff

The sharks are fucking hungry or something

Somebody feed reynold to the sharks

Mayor Vaughn: Martin, it's all psychological. You yell barracuda, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.
