After saving a sea turtle of the coast of Florida, this fisherman is a hero!

According to Inside Edition, the animal became entangled in fishing line while swimming next to a pier.

Donald Zinn, a fisherman present at the time, explained the situation, saying:

“Most likely this animal would have had hundreds of feet of fishing line around him. It was wrapped around his neck, one of his fins.”

Thankfully, another fisherman jumped into the water to save the trapped creature. Although the turtle was big, the man was able to set the turtle free in a few minutes.
