"The crowd atop the Hermosa Beach Pier watched with bated breath as a local fisherman, stripped down to his underwear and armed with only a pair of scissors, waded into the water in an attempt to free a juvenile great white shark."
"At first, things did not look good, and the dozen or so people watching from the pier began to despair. 'It was really sad, because the shark didn't look like it was moving a bunch,' said Garry."
"But shortly after the line was removed, the shark regained movement and started thrashing about in an attempt to get into deeper water."
A fisherman at Hermosa Beach freed a juvenile great white shark caught on a fishing line. Experts anticipate increased shark sightings due to warm waters and a strong El Niño. Juvenile great whites are generally not dangerous to humans but may bite defensively when hooked. A local resident recorded the rescue, noting the fisherman waded into the water with scissors to cut the line and helped the shark back into the sea, which eventually regained its movement and swam away.
