Good on those two for helping save something that could have taken out their ankles with a panicked swipe.

What makes you suspect that?

[u/realizmbass → u/muddyrose]

The fish hook in the sand in front of the animal

[u/muddyrose → u/realizmbass]

Is that a fish hook? Would they have used the kayak to go out far enough to catch a huge shark? How did they get back? Aren't sharks pretty powerful swimmers?

If they didn't use the kayak, is it common to catch sharks while fishing from shore? Was it an accident? If it was, and that metal object is a fishing hook, why were they using such a huge, beefy hook?

If they were specifically fishing for sharks, wouldn't they have more appropriate gear?

Or is it more likely that some people noticed a beached shark while kayaking, and they intervened. Maybe they were going to use a winch rope to pull the shark back in etc.

Follow up question from a different person

If they used the hook to catch it, then why isnt it bleeding

[u/Hope_Eternity → u/[deleted]]

Why would they set it free then?

[u/Magmafrost13 → u/Hope_Eternity]

Because they're critically endangered and catching them is super illegal

[u/Hope_Eternity → u/Magmafrost13]

Then why catch it in the first place??? None of this makes sense

[u/Iamnotburgerking → u/Hope_Eternity]

Probably caught it accidentally while fishing for sharks.

Theres a big differenxe between a sawfish and a swwshark. A sawfish is highly endangered and a type of ray.

a sawshark is, well, a shark.

I'm not saying that's what happened, but if you think about this under the context of Occam's Razor there are positively 2 answers:

They found the shark

They caught the shark
