The video follows Barry and his crew as they attempt to catch and tag a shark named Harrison. They prepare a sling, bait the shark, and plan to hook it. Once hooked, they aim to drag it alongside the boat to tag it with a satellite device. The process involves drilling holes in the dorsal fin to attach the tag. The crew makes a final attempt to catch the shark by strategically baiting and hooking it on the left side for safe removal.
