The U.S. Coast Guard says fishermen whose boat sank in the Gulf of Mexico suffered deep cuts on their hands and a shredded life jacket after they were forced to fight back against circling sharks before being rescued
NEW ORLEANS — — Three men whose fishing boat sank in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast were rescued after surviving for more than a day despite being attacked by sharks that inflicted deep cuts on their hands and shredded one of their life jackets, according to their rescuers.
The fishermen left Venice, Louisiana, during the weekend and became stranded when their 24-foot boat sank. The Coast Guard launched a search after a family member called Saturday night saying they hadn't returned. “He told me he had 2% battery and he fired off that text message,” Keefe said of the fisherman who sent the message.
