On Tuesday, he caught a lemon shark, and the attention of some beachgoers, on Tybee Island near the pier.

When Brigman hooked the shark, it took off and tangled in the lines of others fishing on the pier. He and his fishing buddy, Colt Williams ended up having to cut all of the lines so they could safely release the shark back into the water.
