and then kind of got light and we saw the fish. we realized it was a sawfish. we were amazed because it was 11 feet long, and the bill was 4 feet long and it was just a crazy find and pretty much every time we tried to get it closer, the fish was way too powerful for us to get on that reel. >> reporter: eventually they got it to shore and, of course, took pictures and reflected on just how rare this endangered species is to see up close. >> it's just one of those prehistoric looking animals and people see and if you see them -- you're lucky to see t m them. if you catch them, you're even luckier. >> reporter: erin guy, boynton beach, florida. now to some sports starting with frustration boiling over from the defending world series champs. the red sox got angry yesterday yelling

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.
