On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 20-year-old Kevin Phan freed a juvenile great white shark accidentally hooked while fishing near the Hermosa Beach Pier shortly after 9 a.m.
Witnesses watched as Phan stripped down to his underwear and used scissors to cut the fishing line, urging the struggling shark back to sea with encouragement.
Expert shark drone photographer Carlos Gauna noted juvenile great whites pose little danger to humans, though "the rare exception is when fishing is involved," creating defensive risks.
Phan successfully pushed the 5-foot shark into an incoming wave, prompting applause from onlookers, later sharing on social media he suffered only minor cuts during the rescue.
Chris Lowe, director of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab, expects a surge in sightings this summer due to unseasonably warm waters, saying, "I'm expecting this year to be a sharky summer.
