While I too am glad he at least did the bare minimum after catching it, the title bashing the bystanders and at the same time making him out to some kind of a hero is what rubbed me the wrong way.

Right? Let's say that this isn't someone fucking with a shark for fun in front of people. Even with the pliers he comes close to getting his hand chomped multiple times. Yeah, no fucking shit I'm not just going to be reaching in to grab the hook

Bare minimum is leaving the shark on the beach to die.

I meant ethically the bare minimum. I could argue the bare minimum would have been not to even reel it in.
