INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH, Fla. -- A mother of six who was bitten by a shark off Florida's Melbourne Beach last month says she has no plans to stay out of the water.
Amy Tatsch, 38, told WKMGthat the she believes a bull shark bit her leg while she was swimming near Ponce de Leon Park on Melbourne Beach on May 15.
"We caught a couple of waves. He caught one and I drifted down a little farther with the current so I was a little farther away and the next wave that was coming up, I was ready," she said. "I kicked off with my right leg to give me some momentum to ride in and that's when I got bumped."
Doctors were able to save her leg. After looking at the width of the bite, Tatsch said her doctor believes the shark was about 7 feet long.
