The baby great white shark washed up on shore at Venice beach, fighting for its life. A group of surfers hurried to the fish, and a local man known as 'Willy' went to work.
Elisa Van Es, the bystander who shot the amazing video had this to say to CNS 2 Los Angeles: "He didn’t say a word to anybody . . . and he just started digging to get the hook out of the shark’s mouth. I don’t know how he didn’t get bit, quite frankly. You could see the rows of teeth."
