The year before Christopher Meng-Killeen was to graduate with a degree in computer science at Boston College, he veered off his chosen career path for 12 months to explore a new avenue: shark fishing in Florida.

The 22-year-old New Yorker was lured by videos of extreme fishermen reeling in massive sharks and other incredible fish on Instagram. He saw his chance. As a boy, he told The Epoch Times, he‘d always loved fishing off Long Island with his father and, moreover, he’d studied filmmaking.
