CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â It's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, but the Texas Shark Rodeo has been going on for several months, and it's not stopping any time soon.
Around 380 anglers, who might normally kill the sharks they catch, are instead snapping photos and then releasing them.
And that's not all.
Some anglers place tags on their sharks and take tissue samples.
It all earns the anglers points towards the competition with an individual and a team earning bragging rights as shark rodeo champions at the end of the year.
