The brothers, longtime sport fishermen who live in Massachusetts, released a juvenile tiger shark in late July after catching it from a beach. “Immediately I started yelling to my brother, ‘It’s a tiger, it’s a tiger shark!’ The adults are also more dangerous to humans than most shark species, though unprovoked fatal bites are rare. This photo provided by Nelson Rouette shows his brother, Nate Rouette, holding a young tiger shark that they caught off Falmouth Mass., July 23, 2026. For the Rouette brothers, the encounter with a tiger shark provided a thrill they won’t forget.
