from the video it sounds like the fishermen had the shark hooked for a while and were trying to reel him in. As plaintiff’s lawyer I’d argue the city shoudl not permit shark fishing in an area where people are swiming. If there were signage prohibiting shark fishing, then the city knew of th edanger and probably should have taken more steps to prohibit the fishermen from fishing for sharks. if there were no signage there should have been signage and the city was negligent for failing to prohibit shark fishing.
either way, seems liek a sympathetic case, because the fishermen think it’s hilarious that a shark they have ont he line is “jumping right on top” of the swimmer. That ‘s probably enough to get the jury worked up enough to want to stop people from shark fishing right there.
