A Georgia man celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary was attacked by a vicious fish while on a snorkeling trip Saturday in the Florida Keys, WTVJ reported.
There are conflicting reports of what bit the man. WTVJ reported that it was a shark, while the Miami Herald reported it was a Barracuda.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that the incident occurred at 1:30 p.m. in Key Largo at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the television station reported.
The man was taken to a hospital and his condition was unknown, Coast Guard officials said Sunday.
One witness told WTVJ that a crew member of a boat jumped into the water to help the victim.
