Article Headline: "FWC recommends charges against man seen beating shark on video"

Is that what the kids these days are calling it?

The State Attorney's Office will determine if any charges are filed. WESH is not naming the man because he has not been charged yet.

Maxwell. I'm guessing his name is Maxwell.

FWC does not f*ck around. I've had my fishing license checked on spot and my cooler searched

I hate people who mistreat wildlife this way. Lock them up

They more or less have the authority to do a body-cavity search if they think you took over the limit.
Given all the poaching and BS like this I tend not to get too upset with ranger person doing their job.

So he beat it to death with a hammer then just threw it back in the ocean? What was the point? Christ what an asshole.
