This is the amazing moment a group of fishermen wrangled a shark and removed six fishing lines from its mouth on a Western Australian beach.
Three men caught the bronze whaler in Mandurah, south of Perth, with one wading in to the water to hold it while another pulled the hooks out of it mouth, incredible footage shows.
A clip of the rescue was posted to TikTok by clothing label owner Nikki Mosco, with the mum-of-four revealing the group found the hooks were tangled up with sinkers, fishing line and seaweed.
Showing no fear, one of the fishermen reached into the shark’s mouth and cut out a hook with a pair of pliers, while his fellow good Samaritan wrapped his arms around the shark to keep the animal still.
Once they removed the hooks the shark was set free to swim away.
People quickly went to the comments, with many praising the group.
‘That sharks calmer than me in the dentists,’ joked one.
‘On ya boys! This is living like a proper Aussie,’ said a second.
Other described them as ‘legends’, ‘very brave’ and ‘champions’.
‘Well done guys!! That poor little thing,’ commented one person.
