I think I am the only one who feels bad for the fish (well shark in this instance). Unless the shark was trying to be JAWS, really don’t know why you have to kill and then take selfies with it.

Don’t tell fisherman Matt Pemberton that there’s plenty of fish in the sea.
The Panama City Beach native makes his living catching the biggest fish the water has to offer.
“We take locals and tourists all over the beach,” said Pemberton of Off the Beach Shark Fishing. “We try to stay on the east end where there aren’t any swimmers and we try to catch some big sharks.”
Friday night the Gulf gave Pemberton, his crew, and customers the fight of their life when a more than 600 pound shark caught hold of their line.
“The fight was a long fight,” said Pemberton. “Wore us all out, really.”
Seven men and an hour and a half later the team had their prize in the form on a 10 foot long Mako Shark.
“It was pretty impressive I couldn’t believe it,” said Douglas Harlan, vacationing from Indiana. “It just blew my mind to land something that big — I never expected anything like that.”
