Props to you guys for releasing it. I was kinda worried about the impact on it's spine from the rope, but you said it swam away fine. Good to hear nobody was hurt.

It chomped quite a bit out of a 1" sheet of marine plywood that we had blocking a discard chute... these are very powerful creatures! Thanks for looking!

They better have let it go because it is on the endangered species list because scientists don't know how much of them are left. And if they didn't release it and they got caught they would have to pay a big fine or even go to jail.

You are not correct. It is true that we do not have a very complete understanding of the long-term population trends of this species or this particular stock. However, this species is not endangered. They are listed as Lower Risk/Near threatened on the IUCN Red list. You should do some research before commenting like that, stop spreading bad information.

Very Surprised it was still alive with such depth changes and pressure changes.

Sharks, skates, rays, and chimeras all use oil-filled livers to control buoyancy, not an air-filled gas bladder. So, they experience few ill-effects of being brought to atmospheric pressure. The temperature change is probably the worst of it, besides the handling stress.
