Brian Hutto said contrary to some reports, neither he nor his brother had any bait in his pocket.

He said as they were walking to a sandbar, Craig felt a bump on his leg, and then the shark attacked.

Brian said he hit the shark repeatedly and tried to pull his brother away from its jaws.

The boys’ father waded into the water to help them, and together, the two managed to pull Craig away from the shark and get him to shore.
