NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus wrestles shark as Tyreek Hill watches from boat
NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus was recorded wrestling a shark as Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill watched from the boat.
The whole incident was posted to social media.
Rosenhaus tweeted: “Went fishing with @cheetah today and decided to get up close to this Dusky Shark.”
Marine biologist Dr. Chris Lowe told USA Today that if the shark was healthy, Rosenhaus may have found himself on the wrong end of the encounter.
“The fact that that shark just kind of slowly ambled towards the boat. Kind of banged into the boat, kind of rolled upside down,” Lowe said. “Those are the behaviors we see from a shark that’s either been caught and exhausted from the fight and then released, and they’re kind of groggy. …
“When you grab a shark by the tail that way, they can literally do a circle, come back around, and that’s how most fishermen are bit.”
