(MYFOX NATIONAL) - After a day of spear fishing and lobster diving, a group of boaters were shocked when a shark jumped into their boat.

Michael Powers and his friends were going after lobster and other fish off the coast of Florida Saturday when the shark jumped right into their boat.

The 5 1/2 foot bull shark, which hit one of the crew members when it jumped on board, injured itself after violently flopping around the boat.

After about 30 minutes of thrashing around, the bleeding shark finally calmed down enough for the boaters to throw it back into the water.

The boat suffered very minor damage and no one was injured.
