No one had ever heard of a long line there, ever.

at first we kept thinking this was going to end.

Like, you know, you keep thinking like, okay, here's, you know, there's another shark.

Oh my God.

And this must be the end of this line, but it didn't end.

It just, it went on for forever.

And this is like backbreaking work.

Like you're like hand over handing, especially because we're collecting this line and putting it on the boat because, you know, we didn't want to just, you know, cut these animals free and leave like this line out there to, you know, pollute the ocean or, or potentially ensnare some other wildlife.

And, uh,

And so, you know, we're picking up this line and coiling it into the back of the boat.

And everyone was kind of excited, too, because it seemed like we had found something very criminal going on, and we were saving this wildlife.

And the first few sharks, they looked exhausted because they've been pulling against this line for a while.
