In fact, the first one that I ever saw in Australia
00:00:03.896 --> 00:00:05.517
was hooked on a drumline,
00:00:05.552 --> 00:00:08.379
and it was very difficult for me to film
00:00:08.414 --> 00:00:11.276
because I got in the water with it thinking it was dead,
00:00:11.031 --> 00:00:12.724
but then its eye was still moving,
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.000
so it was just this animal that I'd always associated
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:17.586
with such power and presence in the ocean.
