When a baby Great White shark washed up on Venice Beach, California with a hook in its mouth, it didn’t take long for a crowd to arrive. Luckily, the crowd included one man who was not afraid to remove the hook with his bare hands.
Viewer Elvia sent in this video of the rescue, saying the shark became stranded on the sand near the Venice Pier after it latched on to a fishing hook. . . “The rescuers were heroes,” she said, as her camera captured surfers and other good samaritans trying to lead the Great White back to the water.
While it appears that the surfers in the video did very little in the rescue, it was a nice contrast to that horrifying shark fishing video that was going around earlier this month.
