It's often said revenge is best served up cold.

Commercial fisherman Allen Engleman, 28, doesn't necessarily agree. He prefers his revenge filleted, cooked and dished up on a plate. At least that's the case for the 7-foot spinner shark that drew Engleman's ire on Sunday. Engleman was out rough waters off Florida's Singer Island just lying on his board, minding his own business when something took a bite out of his left hand.

"He took my left hand down and at the same time I reached down with my right, I grabbed his pec fin and I was battling back and forth with him while I was on my surf board and he let go," Engleman said in a recorded interview. That little encounter cost Engleman a trip to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach where he had to get 15 stitches, the Sun-Sentinel reported. Not willing to let the close call go, Engleman returned to the water on Monday with his 5-year-old son Greyson in tow.

"He's getting revenge on the shark that got my hand," Engelman said on camera as Greyson began to reel in the creature.

Engleman is convinced the shark caught Monday and the one who bit him on Sunday are the same. He recognized markings on its fins, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

The shark won't have the opportunity to bite anyone else. After it was brought up on the beach, Engleman declared, "we're going fillet it and we're going eat it." Florida leads the world in the number of confirmed, unprovoked shark attacks annually. Most attacks, experts say, are similar to Engleman's where nips are taken.
