American father and son catch shark

The American father and son have just caught a class shark in the Gulf of Mexico this week.

Stevens recalled that when he saw the fishing rod shaking, he thought that adding a baby shark caught the hook. However, when he pulled up close to the boat, he and his father realized it was a big shark. It took them an hour to bring this unexpected "booty" to their 3.5m long kayak.

"It looks like a motor on our boat," he told Galveston County.

Stevens said that black fin sharks are usually not aggressive so they pose little danger to humans. After taking beautiful pictures of this shark, the father and son decided to release it.
