Fisherman Draws a Crowd on Florida Beach as He Reels in Shark

A shore angler drew a crowd at a beach on Okaloosa Island, Florida, recently as he battled to land a sizeable shark before releasing the fish back into the surf.

Keith Ladd was among those watching, and he recorded this video of the shark’s eventual landing.

After a photo-op, the shark was dragged back to sea, where it swam off, Ladd said. Credit: Keith Ladd via Storyful
