Are you afraid of sharks? Many people have a phobia of them. Perhaps it's because they are so unknown to us, and movies and other avenues portray them as shocking, monstrous beasts. But at the end of the day, sharks are animals, just like a squirrel or a tiger or a dog. And, like any other animal found in distress, they deserve to be helped.
The video below showcases one of these exact instances, and how a regular man became a hero.
The incident was caught on camera at Jensen Beach in Florida.
According to the man recording, he and a group of friends were fishing when suddenly, they witnessed a blacktip shark struggling in the water.
In the video below, they quickly realize something is wrapped around the fish, and run over to get a closer look.
His friend, named Adam (the man in the orange T-shirt), runs down the beach before leaping into the water.
He then pulls the trapped shark out of the water with his bare hands!
The group then releases the shark from the fishing line that's coiled around it, before unclipping the fish hook in its mouth.
Adam then drags the fish back into the water and it quickly swims off.
A stunning rescue indeed!
I'm sure the shark was thankful to be back in the ocean deep once again.
