These fishermen knew they'd caught something big in the San Francisco Bay. They didn't expect it to be a great white.

A group of people sport fishing in the San Francisco Bay over the weekend got the shock of their life when a great white shark snagged their bait and dragged the boat around for two miles.

The boat was near the infamous Alcatraz island around 11 a.m. when a line that Gamez cast began to pull. The experienced fisherman assumed he was fighting a large sevengill, so the group pulled the anchor up and let the fish pull the 26-foot boat around for a bit while they tried to reel it in, he said.The shark dragged the boat for about an hour and two miles before Gamez carefully cut the line, he said."I really didn't get a good look at it," he said.

"First time I've had to pull an anchor on a shark," Gamez said in the video."...Not sure what it is, but it's a big one."

Sad that Great Whit has to go around with hook in the side of its mouth for the rest of its life. 😢

That looks like a mako

They caught a big fish 😁😆🦈

I’m sure those jugheads compassionately cut it loose?

Now they cut it loose with a big hook in its mouth Sad

big_hopps You catch a great white bro

Wow no one has ever caught a great white shark before lol

Wow

It was really nice of them to leave the hook stuck in his mouth

SF Bay? I was expecting a homeless dude to jump out or brick of cocaine.

Was that bait on the hook really big? What were they trying to catch?

Won’t it die with the hook left in upon release?

Looks like Alcatraz is off in the distance guess nobody could of escaped swimming through the waters. Probably got eaten by a shark.🦈

What about the hock in shark mouth 😳 he will suffering

Now just reach in and get back your hook

🤣🤣. I assure you that the shark will not die due to hook in its mouth.. it’s going to eat the hook and the rest of the bait in 1 swallow, n shit it out in a day or 2..

Except no it wasn’t. It was a Mako most likely.

Could’ve removed the hook...badfisherman

Did they leave the hook in its mouth?

Thanks for actually telling me what it was instead of click baiting me and saying “you won’t believe what it was”. Legit so refreshing AND I still watched the video :)

They left that shark injured and potentially dying.

Just surprised the boat didn't capsize from all that trailer trash.

You got to have all the bad luck on you if this happens to you on a random day.

How small and insecure do you have to be to go out with your bros and torture an animal for fun?

The dude who cuts the line looks like ActionBronson, but he probably would’ve made some scrumptious motherfucking skewers outta that fish.

Paging HooperInSharks

I found myself feeling nervous that Jaws was going to jump up and take a bite out of the boat!!hearthemusic where’sRoyScheiderwhenyou needhim candygramma’am

Looked like my bill's taking a bite outta my paycheck

Let it live, assholes. What’s wrong with you guys?
