Do you not have tools in your vehicle? If not you should.

Doesn't change the fact he's doing catch and release, he caught the wrong kind of shark. It's traumatic enough for them they usually end up dying anyway.

Say what you want about fishing, but legally he cannot keep this shark, it's just a casualty now of his other fishing activities. It's unfortunate because normal fish usually survive catch and release, it's traumatic but not deadly. Sharks physiology handles being beached about as well as a whale

I do. I also love to fish.

But I wouldn't be referring to "my hook" if I hadn't caught the fish myself. Plier man says "my hook" twice in the video, he caught it.
