Tourist Reels in 13-Foot Sawfish off Florida Coast
A British tourist fishing for sharks hooked a rare sawfish off the coast of Florida.
Ian Atherton was fishing for sharks about a quarter mile off the coast when he hooked something large.
The tourists and boat crew were stunned when, after about an hour of wrangling, Atherton brought a 13-foot sawfish to the surface of the water.
A local charter company called it “the catch of a lifetime for him,” as they “have only caught two sawfish in the last 17 years of business…”
The sawfish was released without injury.
