She picked up the shark without any fear.

In the Manavgat district of Antalya, a professional fisherman named Savaş Dursun caught a shark weighing approximately 50 kilograms on the line he cast from the shore. Dursun, who entered the water to bring the shark to the shore, examined the fish for a while before cradling it and releasing it back into the sea. The moment reminded many of the shark scene from the comedy film Recep İvedik.

A SHARK CAUGHT ON HIS LINE

Savaş Dursun, who works as a professional fishing consultant in Antalya, came to Manavgat Beach to catch fish. A shark measuring over 1.5 meters and weighing around 50 kilograms got caught on the line he cast from the shore. Upon noticing the shark, Dursun entered the water to safely bring it to the shore without harming it.

CRADLED AND RELEASED IT BACK INTO THE SEA

After examining the shark for a while, Dursun held it under its fins, cradled it, and released it back into the sea. The footage of Dursun and the shark captured by a mobile phone camera reminded many of the shark scene from the comedy film Recep İvedik.

"I WAS A LITTLE SCARED"

Describing the moments he experienced with the shark on the beach, Dursun said: "We used a steel-bodied line to catch it because it has incredibly sharp teeth. I entered the water to bring it to the shore without harming it. After examining it, I cradled it like Recep İvedik and released it back into the water because I couldn't move due to the waves. To be honest, I was a little scared, but I have dealt with much larger sharks in different parts of the world. Especially when you hold it under the armpits, the fish becomes ineffective. Since I am very familiar with fish, I know where to hold it. I wouldn't recommend it to friends who don't know; they should avoid it altogether."

"THEY FEED ON SMALL FISH"

Dursun noted that these species come to collect dazed fish from the mouths of large rivers after the rains in December and January, saying, "They generally hunt at night during these months. Their main menu does not include marine mammals. They feed on small fish. They are a type with a low probability of attacking humans. We usually encounter them while fishing in Derinsu. Sometimes they bite half of the fish on our line, taking a tax from us, and sometimes they get caught on our live bait. We release them again because they are under protection," he said.
