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.

Later that evening, the boys snagged another shark, this time a 13-foot tiger shark. They fought for an hour to pull the shark in before releasing it back into the water.

Sharks are typically most active at dusk and dawn. Several different kinds of sharks can be found on Georgia’s coast, such as spinner and blacktip sharks.
