'Immediately there was blood everywhere, the first bite punctured an artery,' James White said.

While fishing, White felt a strong pull on the line and struggled to reel in his catch. He told NBC Bay Area that it took about 10 minutes."The only way I think I was able to get the line back is because it was swimming towards me," he said.

"Immediately there was blood everywhere, the first bite punctured an artery," White said."The pressure was intense." At first, Darby sunk his own teeth into the sharks gills, but that only made it bite down harder on White's leg. Realizing that plan of attack didn't work, the dog then grabbed the giant fish by the tail and pulled it off his master's leg. White was then able to get the creature back into the water, where it quickly swam away.
