A fisherman reeled in a hammerhead shark off Panama City Beach, Florida, on Saturday, July 1. Curtis Williams was flying his drone at the beach when he came across the catch-and-release fishing expedition.

“Vacationing at beach and was going to video a nice pleasant sunset. I noticed a man wading in the water and something close to him. I brought the drone down and quickly realized a monster hammerhead was next to him,” Williams wrote to Storyful.

Williams said he later discovered it was a catch-and-release trip, and the fisherman followed procedures to safely release the shark. Credit: Curtis Williams via Storyful
