The sawfish rare that seems to have gone out of the prehistoric times

After two hours of struggle, a fisherman in South Florida and their fishing companions captured an unusual fish: a rare species of sawfish. Known for his shaped snout serra, this species of fish is rarely sighted in the wild.

The seven known subspecies of this kind of fish are threatened or severely threatened, so your sighting is even rarer. However, a copy was caught by Dustin Richter and their friends during one of the last three nights. For whatever reason, the Group made a point of removing the animal out of the water to document capture, but the fish was once again thrown into the waters of Boynton Beach.

"Catch a fish like this happens only once in a lifetime," said Richter to ABC News, cites the Huffington Post. "Being able to see a fish so you're lucky, but to get one is to have even more lucky," considers the fisherman.

Richter estimates that the fish, about 3.4 meters, weighed more than 220 pounds. According to the description of the fisherman still fish will not have reached the adult State, since both types of sawfish found in the United States can grow more than 20 feet.

It is believed that the fish-serra will have evolved in a way, now extinct, primitive sharks. This species of fish uses the saw-shaped snout to defend himself and to dig up small fish and crustaceans from the bottom of the ocean.

For explaining was, however, why so many struggle with the fish â€" especially after the fishermen have the notion that it was a rare species. Here are some pictures of the sawfish.
