Sharks can be super dangerous animals, so most people would drop their fishing poles and run if they accidentally caught one.

But these three men jumped into the water and did their best to save the ferocious fish.

A clip of their heroic efforts was posted to TikTok. They'd accidentally caught a copper shark, also called a bronze whaler, on the west coast of Australia.

Footage shows two of the men in the water with the shark, one of them holding the animal in a hug. The other uses a pair of pliers to free the animal from the tangled tackle it's caught it.

Once they pulled the hooks out, they gently set the animal free and gave the scary shark a pat on the fin before sending it on its way with a cheer.

TikTok is amazed by the fishermen's heroic actions

The clip of the men helping the shark caught the internet's attention, with many praising the rescue effort.

TikTok users are in awe of how chill the shark seems throughout the video. One user quipped, "That shark is calmer than me in the dentist's."

Others focused on the heroic intervention, noting that the three amigos just bought themselves a whole lot of good karma.

One commenter described them as "real shark whisperers."
