NARRATOR: After
nearly three weeks
of diving these treacherous,
fascinating, shark-infested
waters in search of
three missing sharks,
we found proof of two.
Now, after spending
half the night fishing
for the flapnose
hound shark, an animal
not seen for over 100 years--
 We got a catch!
NARRATOR: Something
has taken hold.
 Reel, reel, reel,
reel, reel, reel!
I got him!
I got one, Dave!
We got one!
Look at that!
Woo!
Dave, look at that!
 Jeez!
 Holy crap!
 Yep, yep.
 Dave!
 It's got the flaps.
Yep.
We got one.
Oh!
Oh, my god!
We got a flapnose hound shark!
NARRATOR: I can't believe it.
We've caught a live
flapnose hound shark,
a species lost for
over a century.
 Lost for 100-plus years.
 Yeah, almost 120.
 Unbelievable.
What a beautiful animal.
This is what we do it for.
All right.
I'm going to put him down.
Enjoy that for a minute.
I'm going to go get the tags.
 Great.
NARRATOR: Any information
we can collect
will be the first of
its kind since 1902.
 The first thing I want to
do is get some measurements
on the animal.
 Yep.
 LOA of 84 centimeters exactly.
 The big thing that
really sets is apart are
the flaps around the nostrils.
 And that's where the name,
the flapnose hound shark,
comes from.
I mean, it's completely unique.
I don't want to put my finger
too near to the bad spot.
Amazing.
So we're going to apply the
tag through the dorsal fin
right here.
Hold that for me there, Dave.
 Got it.
 And there we go.
Just like that,
our tag is applied.
You see that?
This tag will live on
him for three months,
pop off, and give us
the first-ever tracking
data on the flapnose
hound shark,
which is just incredible.
NARRATOR: The tag then
floats to the surface
and relays all its
data to a satellite.
 All right.
Here he goes.
Go on, beauty.
 There he goes.
Look at that.
Look at that.
How cool is that?
