A Minnesota girl is recovering after she was bitten by a large fish at Island Lake, north of Duluth, according to local media reports.

Maren Kesselhon, 10, was being pulled on a paddle board by a boat operated by her dad when the incident took place, KDAL 610 reported.

When she went into the water “because it was hot,” as Maren put it, she then “felt movement in the water and then I felt my whole foot in its mouth.”
