VIDEO: Sawfish takes the bait
Updated | By Staff Writer
These fish are also known as carpenter sharks.
However, they are considered rays and not sharks.
Sawfishes and sawsharks are not the same, but they certainly have a similar appearance.
All sawfish species are listed as either endangered or critically endangered.
Commercial fishing for sawfish has been banned globally since 2007.
Some sawfish can weigh over 2 000 kilograms and they can live up to about 50 years.
Our footage below was shot in Florida in the USA.
Captain Blair Wiggins is almost inevitably involved in another amazing fishing moment.
