This is one of the barbaric fishermen who took revenge on an incredible shark they believe mauled a diver to death in the ocean weeks before.
Tragic Victor Estrella Esquer, 56, was killed during an attack while diving on Tojahui beach in Sonora, Mexico, last month.
He was hunting for scallops around 10 miles off the coast when the shark ripped off his right left.
He succumbed quickly to the loss of blood, officials in the country said.
But angry at his death, a group of local fishermen in the Paredón Colorado community went looking for the animal in question, reportedly comparing it with photos taken at the time of the attack.

On Sunday, the announced they have been successful and slit its throat. One of the men posed with a huge sea creature in nearby Benito Juárez.
The area has been reported as a hotspot for sharks over the past three years and, after entering the water, Esquer was attacked by one on 12 February.
According to witnesses, the man had been fishing off the coast when he entered the water and was attacked on the lower half of his body.
It comes as a shark tracker map has pinpointed the dozens of the beasts lurking in the waters around the US and Caribbean.
An Italian tourist was last week mauled to death in waters off La Piscinita, on Colombian island of San Andres.
It was just the latest deadly attack of 2022.
Brit Simon Nellist, 35, died after being attacked by a 15ft great white in February off the coast of Little Bay in Sydney.
It was the first shark fatality for nearly 60 years in the area and onlookers watched from the beach in horror as the predator pounced from under the water.
Simon, an expat diving instructor who grew up in Cornwall, was a "wonderful human being" and "very talented photographer", his family said.
In an emotional statement, they said: "Simon was a gentle, kind and wonderful human being. He was a cherished fiancée, son, brother, uncle and friend.
"Simon was funny, compassionate and always had time for people. He had a rare gift of instantly being able to connect with others, gaining their trust and respect."
"Simon had a great passion for nature and the sea, as well as being a very talented photographer."
