Grant's Sawfish
While I was guiding a 3-day camping trip in the 10,000 Islands, Grant hooks a gigantic Smalltooth Sawfish! When the fish was close, we could see that it was entangled in a crab trap rope. I grabbed the rope just moments after the fishing line broke, then Grant helped me to pull it in to cut the rope loose. We got a safe release!
Smalltooth Sawfish are an extremely endangered animal. Please report all sightings to:
