Craziest fish story?

Craziest story was the very rare opportunity when I handled a live 9ft. bull shark in the water for clients to get that photo of a lifetime. Afterwards, I swam him out 10+ ft. deep for the release – what a rush! What makes this story incredible is the fact it happened twice within a couple hours. After the 1st epic moment, the clients lost their camera (containing all their precious Father/Son vacation memories) overboard!!! So, it was my duty to make it happen again. The odds of this happening are super slim. Probably one of my greatest moments as a guide.
