Frightening Encounter: Massive Shark Trapped Aboard Fishing Vessel, Thrashing Wildly Until Crew Frees It
The Mako shark twists on the boat’s deck, its body ensnared under the guardrail.
The shark’s mouth became bloodied from biting the rail repeatedly. It was finally released thanks to an ingenious idea from one of the crew members.
Captain Don Law, of Outlaw Fishing Charters, secured a rope around the shark’s fin as another crew member skillfully guided its head toward the ocean with a fishing line.
Next, the scene shifts to the shark being gently lowered into the water, with Don carefully cutting the rope to set it free back into its rightful domain.
‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat!’ Joked Don during the ordeal.
Mako sharks typically reach lengths of approximately 3.2 meters (10 feet) and weigh between 60 to 135 kilograms (132 to 298 pounds).
Captain Don Law, of Outlaw Fishing Charters, secured a rope around the shark’s fin, while another crew member ensured its head remained directed towards the ocean by using a fishing line.
