That kid is SO lucky that the shark wasn't bigger.

That's the most Aussie kid I've ever seen!

Think the shark was originally going for the fish he had.

[mai.phader]

A split second earlier and the boy would've lost his hand to that shark since it was going for the fish.

Moral of the story, dont send your kids into shark infested waters

[kimmanning]

Teach your children. He had it in his hand the whole time. Angels were watching over you in Queensland.

Good thing the shark wasn't a little bit bigger. I sure as heck wouldn't let my eight year old spear fish in shark infested waters. Lucky.

Thank God he is okay! What a close call!😳😰😨

Shark prob was attracted to the fishblood. No harm no fowl its nature though better precautions should be made.

“I’m gonna be bait again.”
Parents cheer🙄

[silohdoteth]

Wow he's one lucky kid! Glad he is safe! 💪

[Eyemallfunkedup]

I don’t think it’s a good idea to hold fish in your hands while diving. Just a suggestion.

[richie]

Sharks home sharks rules. Good thing he is ok.

[dlocloc]

I'm so glad lil dude is ok. Thank God

Animals being animals .. Shark was hungry & had a nibble.

"and then a friend looks at him giggling, "uh uhmm, no then a shark attacked me"...

[jase]

Did you know it's more likely to get bitten bye a new Yorker than a shark😂

[yoimesmith]

I'm glad he's ok!! Unbelievable!!

[Birdsarentreal]

This kids gonna get a Christmas Card from Chuck Norris.

[sflo]

When the adults in the room don't give a damn about the kid.
