Occurred on January 1, 2023 / Pensacola, Florida, USA

: "I was spearfishing with some buddies, Josh Loucks and Nathan Lancaster, about 70 miles off shore of Pensacola. We hadn't shot a fish in a few drifts and it was starting to calm down. Josh had been picked up by the boat, I was waiting to be picked up. The boat had swung wide and was making its way to me when I got attacked by a good sized female mako. It hit me from behind at a good angle from my right rear. I would've never seen her coming even if I was looking down. When she hit me I did a flip, she knocked the speargun out of my hands, and partially flooded my mask."
