Mote responders arrived and carefully removed the hooks and fishing gear from the shark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to MCSO, the shark was likely hooked by someone fishing from the beach and became entangled<\/a> when the fishing line wrapped around a crab trap buoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The fishing line likely broke off between the trap and the angler, leaving the shark unable to swim free,” officials said.<\/p>\n

Once the fishing gear was safely removed, the shark was freed from entanglement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
