What about sharks? They must view the fish caught on long lines as a

encounter a large shark caught on the line and maybe really mad.

They all carry a shotgun just for that. No live sharks on board. Some
sharks are commercial fish, of course.

Have you watched the show on Discovery where the Aussies go out in the
ocean and set up these huge holding pens for Tuna that they are
catching with other boats? Amazing! Great Whites break into the nets
to get to the fish, and divers go down to get the Great White out and
repair the nets!
