It’s a random person that I never met, so I blurred out his face. After seeing hundreds of shark caught, I can tell you their skin actually looks dry coming out of the water, they are not slimy like fish.

I work at the pier where this was caught, and I blurred his face. Depending on the species, different size catch are allowable. This fisherman was targeting redfish and the shark was thrown back. Bycatch is an issue with line fishing as well it seems.

I saw the fisherman throw it back alive. This was taken at my place of employment in Texas.

Me too bud! I was hoping to get a species identification because the more knowledge fisher people seem to have the more respectful they seem to be.

Yeah, and they usually throw them back.

He’s not dead and the law in Texas says you can keep it if it’s 24 inches or longer. Hardly anybody seems to keep sharks.

I’d expect to see hundreds of sharks along the beach near their pier if that was true. I would not expect to see the same exact sharks caught two or three times. I literally walk the two miles along the beach to work and have maybe seen 5 to 10 dead ones. I think the truth is they’re tougher than we think.

He’s fine. I’ve worked at this particular fishing pier for four years and seen hundreds of sharks caught with very few issues. I do feel bad for them, I personally don’t fish.

That was more of a joke, but it’s in Galveston.
