The shark was reportedly as tall as the man was. According to onlooker Lee Pasqualucci, who was with Peterson at the time, the shark was “over 150 pounds and 6-feet-tall.”

Pasqualucci said the fisherman took about 40 minutes to reel in the shark after hooking it. However, after he had gotten it in, he discovered it was a shark and cut it loose before dragging it back into the ocean. After the shark is successfully in the water, he pauses and washes his hands off before walking back onto shore.
