Photo / Screengrab / Newscorp AustraliaA Kiwi fisherman has been left with a nasty gaping hole in his arm after he was bitten by a shark - for a second time. Karl Waters was out at sea off the coast of Australia's Northern Territory trying to catch a trout with his spear when a 4ft whitetip reef shark suddenly appeared. The shark was attempting to eat Waters' catch but instead gripped onto his body and chomped down on his arm. Despite it being his second incident with a shark, he's hoping to get back in the water once his wound heals.
