If the fisherman had cut the line, would that have meant the shark was out of danger? Or, was it better to try to remove the hook? Sounds like he probably should have just cut the line... where were the lifeguards, coastguards, fish and game, police, etc. while this was happening?NickMeylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464931795622417237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370711998877298323.post-38989070507267081922014-07-06T15:17:32.758-07:002014-07-06T15:17:32.758-07:00You are correct in that you can't pick and cho...You are correct in that you can't pick and choose, which shark gets on the hook, but once you hook it and recognize it as a white shark, you have to cut it loose.

You cannot pick and choose which shark gets on your hook - if anything bites at all. So the fishing was legal but if the guy KEEPS the great white, then he is subject to a fine.
