Fishing For Hammerheads in Florida
It happened completely by accident, but this captured image is definitely one for the books. A fisherman from Panama City Beach, Florida, simply wanted to land a large king mackerel but ended up snagging a hammerhead shark instead. Incredibly, the drone was able to capture the footage of the fisherman struggling to reel in his catch of the day. Eventually, the fisherman won the battle, but of course released the shark into the sea, unharmed.
One of the fishermen who was present on the day explained, “We never really target hammerhead sharks when we go fishing, but you never really know what you are going to catch once your line is out there.” The waters of Florida are home to various species of sharks, including hammerheads, so it is pretty common to hear of sightings on a daily basis. The fisherman who caught the shark was apparently a tourist from Denmark who was taking part in an outdoor adventure group. What a remarkable adventure, indeed!
