HOMESTEAD, Fla. (CNN/WSVN) - A Florida boater made a rare discovery in the waters of the Atlantic. He picked up a dead 10-foot sawfish about a mile from the Blackpoint Marina in Homestead.
Also known as a Carpenter Shark, sawfish are actually in the ray family.
Characterized by a long, toothy snout, the animals are endangered in Florida.
The boater says he believes this fish was deliberately killed because it had fishing lines sticking out of its mouth when he found it.
