Unless he was the one that caught the fish in the first place. Then I guess his karma would be back to neutral.

Depends if it was intentional. I don't think he was going out there catching sharks on purpose.

(Now if he was then yeah)

Hé was still fishing and fishing is immoral.

The guy holding the line the hook is attached to is in green shorts and he walks off with it once the hook is released. We don’t see the beginning so we don’t know which reeled it in, but it’s a pretty reasonable alternative assumption that green shorts did it and the kid was trying to help the shark and just didn’t have the knowledge to do it properly.

Do you use a steel leader? I've caught several of the fish you listed on and numerous other species with fluorocarbon leaders with 0 issue. 90% of the time if your using a steel leader it's for sharks

So dont you assume its safe to say that the shark was targeted with that gear and rig?

I've never used a steel leader from shore

Whoever caught it is using a shark rig with a steel leader that's good for at least a couple hundred pounds and a hook that's rated the same.

Looks like somebody wanted to shark fish and had no clue what to do when they actually hooked a shark because the handling of the animal is completely wrong and it will probably die because of it
