Florida Man Accidentally Catches 12ft Hammerhead Shark, Guides It Back To Sea By It’s Snout
Florida Man has certainly lost his mind on this one. South Florida fisherman Brandon Griffin, who goes by Juno Brandon on his socials posts a lot of fishing content. But this one is just straight crazy. In a video posted earlier this week, Brandon shows off his latest catch – a 12 foot hammerhead shark. Reeling in a hammerhead is strictly a no-no, most of the species of hammerhead sharks are classified as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable. So he did what any good Florida Man would do. He helped the shark back out to sea.
You can watch the whole video if you want. It’s at 5 minutes when it gets real interesting. Brandon guides the shark by it’s snout and leads it back to open waters.
His hand in mere inches away from those hammerhead shark teeth.
One big thrash and it’s all over. It seems completely nuts, but that’s actually textbook on the way to do it. Brandon knows what he’s doing. Without help, that hammerhead shark survival odds that close to the shore are questionable. He may not have meant to hook that shark, but he did what was needed to protect it’s life. Earlier this year, as posted on his TikTok, Brandon dealt with a much more aggressive species – the bull shark. And he did it from a kayak.
