SA amazed by shark attack

Many people commented on the video, and they were horrified by the situation. Netizens discussed what they would have done if they were in the man's place.

Crystal-Jade Grobbelaar said:

"Ok.. let's get facts straight before throwing stones and judging him. The guy caught the shark, so instead of killing it to unhook it to let it go, they risked their lives to help it loose to let it go. So the way I see it, that's a real fisherman that RESPECTS the ocean. So yes, he was bitten, but at least he didn't kill it. Because he is a fisherman. Not heartless! Just my opinion."
