A tourist was reportedly bitten by a giant eel while vacationing in Hawaii, she told local news outlets.

“I knew immediately that it was something bad, and it wasn’t just like a fish nibble, so I pulled my foot into the air and there was blood everywhere,” Porter, of Maryland, told KHON-TV on Aug. 2. “My feet were dangling down and I was there for hours, so I was completely surprised that all of a sudden something attacked my foot,” she added.
