Three tourists from New Zealand made an unexpected catch on a beach. Andreas Rasmussen, Christian Johansen Boyum and Johan Berg managed to catch a huge bronze whaler shark using just an ordinary rod. After taking a bunch of pictures, they released the shark back into the water. Capturing sharks is legal in New Zealand as long as they are released after. Moreover, the practice has turned into a real sport. However, authorities mentioned that those practicing this ‘sport’ should know what they are doing so that neither they nor the sharks get hurt. Seems legit.
