Marta, she was on deck less than a minute and had only been lip hooked. A simple push and she was on her way.
I think finding a hammerhead is a very exciting sighting..divers dream of this!
I hope he was released soon and did not suffer too much from the experience.
Absolutely. My young nephew had never been fishing in the ocean. We were targeting tarpon and caught this beautiful fish instead. She wasn't as exciting as a big leaping tarpon, but...
caught and released? that´s great!
