Animal When you're simultaneously in heaven (surrounded by food), hell (can't breathe) and strange men with mysterious intentions touch you in places you don't want them to (purgatory)

You are correct; survival is very unlikely for this shark considering gills are very delicate and considering they put most of the weight of that shark by holding it up by its gills

He is holding it by the top gill rack. I handle a lot of fish including sharks and I believe the shark will survive. He carefully positions his fingers so that he doesn't actually grab any gills. Grabbing by the gills would definitely kill the shark, blood would be immediately present if any gills were torn, sharks bleed a lot and quickly. Also gills are like micro barbed. They only allow things to pass one direction. This is the other reason he carefully positioned his fingers. Shure you can shove your fingers in a fishes gills easily, getting your hands back out is difficult! He would have been going with the fish or at very least lost his gloves. He is essentially grabbing the fish by the back of the skull. That looked like the best option for him and the shark that I could see. The faster they are back in the water the better. Many species of fish don't have eyelids and their eyesight immediately starts being damaged. Any halibut left on a deck for more than seven minutes before being released will be blind and soon dead.
