Was looking at a group of 30 Black Oystercatchers when I noticed a fishs fins flapping out of the surf. The fish then came out of the water and started flailing in the sand. I immediately ran towards it and tried to drag it back towards the water at least 5 times by its tail but had no luck getting it all the way back into the water. We ended up leaving after trying for about 5 minutes to get it back in the water since I was guiding at the time.
