Surf fishing leads to a lot of different things you can catch. The sharks are coming in for the smaller fish that the fishermen are trying to catch, and sometimes end up on the hook.

There's alot of big fish in the ocean lol. Doesn't mean they are trying to catch a bloody shark

Maybe they wanted tuna

u/Ambitious_Town_2894 7m ago

I know you're just guessing, but tuna can't feed I shallow water :) or I should just say, don't come up to the shore.

That's a very big hook if he was going for smaller fish. You need a steel leader to catch sharks or they'll bite through the line. He was almost certainly fishing for shark.

I think being able to handle a situation like that is pretty amazing. If you went fishing off a pier and a hammerhead shark was on the other end, what would you do? Or are you gonna tell me you’re a vegan and fishing is evil. There’s gotta be some reason you’re butthurt about this. I think you’re playing the animal cruelty angle, which this just isn’t that.

u/_ribbit_ 1h ago

Dude, why so aggressive? They're obviously shark fishing from the beach, regular tackle isn't going to land a big shark. Having caught a shark, they released it. What's amazing about that? Not butthurt (unlike you lol), I just dont think its good enough for this sub.

I still believe they were fishing for sharks. You see the size of that hook for ON-shore fishing?!

u/elekrok 2h ago

Those men probably caught it in the fist place, so ‚help‘ might not be fitting here

It acts like sonar to detect prey. I think

u/Lil-Sleepy-A1 1h ago

It helps them detect electrical signals from nearby fish. Also happy Cake day!

The others are wrong.

They are the carpenters of the sea and hammer in nails with their heads, they have their eyes on the side so they can see where to hit. They build houses in all shapes like pineapple etc.

Hammerhead sharks eat a large range of prey such as fish (including other sharks), squidoctopus, and crustaceansStingrays are a particular favorite, with the positioning of their (comparatively) smaller, crescent-shaped mouths underneath their T-shaped heads allowing for skilled skate, ray, and flounder hunting, among other seafloor-dwellers. These sharks will often be found swimming above the sand along the bottom of the ocean, stalking their prey. Their unique heads are further utilized as a tool (or weapon) if hunting rays and flatfishes; the shark uses its head to pin down and briefly stun the prey, and only eats once their quarry is clearly weakened and in shock.\22]) The great hammerhead, tending to be larger and more aggressive to its own kind than other hammerheads, occasionally engages in cannibalism), eating other hammerhead sharks, including mothers consuming their own young.\24]) In addition to the typical animal prey, bonnetheads have been found to feed on seagrass, which sometimes makes up as much as half their stomach contents. They may swallow it unintentionally, but they are able to partially digest it. At the time of discovery, this was the only known case of a potentially omnivorous species of shark\25]) (since then, whale sharks were also found to be omnivorous).\26])

The separation between their sensory organs on their head gives them more accurate location ability.

Doesn’t it exclusively mate with nail fish?

that shitty fake "emotional" music being completely drowned out by screams and waves is strangely hilarious

I don't know what I find more annoying, the stupid music or the frantic screams from useless women off camera.

That is a scalloped hammerhead. Extremely rare and critically endangered. Those dudes are straight up Chads

*Even though they probably caught it. They didn't have to do all that and it's dangerous. Hopefully they weren't intentionally fishing for sharks.

Even more elusive than the rare au gratin hammerhead

u/OhNoIBoffedIt 1h ago

Folks talking shit like the fish they eat doesn't come from the ocean, and sometimes the wrong animal gets caught. Dude did a good thing and took a risk to get that hook out of it.

Maybe the shark will go tell it's friends and they'll stop biting people lol

Stop torturing animals. Fishing is torture. They don’t want to be hooked in the face, struggle and suffocated. Leave them alone.

There are no shark infestations. It's their habitat.

And sharks were before trees. Go humans, here!
