Bull sharks kill a lot of breeder size red drum in the NC sounds but we don't go killing them. I'd say they are much more of a threat to humans than hammerheads are on the average.
Cut the line on the Tarpon ? let the fish get away if you're concerned about the shark killing it , nah , that wouldn't get the good video footage they wanted .

Interesting, the way I understood it the heads of hammerheads are designed for a cruise fairly close to the bottom picking up the electromagnetic signals of prey, you wouldn’t think of them so much is something that chases down free swimming fish at the top.
Makes me wonder what sort of cues an exhausted stressed out and struggling tarpon might put out, it seems like the shark would have little chance of catching a healthy free-swimming tarpon.

I came to an understanding with sharks some time ago, they don't piss in my toilet and I don't swim in their ocean...seems to be working so far.
But if you feel you must then that is your look out.
A sound philosophy!

You can thank the government and Texas for the shark problems. In 1979 I got a grant through NOAA to shark fish and around 20 years later NMFS closed commercial fishing for large coastal sharks. And now Texas has made it illegal to transport shark meat through the state without the fins still attached to Mexico. So catching black tips and spinner sharks aren't worth the effort, and the fresh shark meat market at Publix and Wind Dixie is nonexistent because of the political pressure from the dogooders. I caught a really big greater hammer head years and just the dorsal fin was worth over $250. Between the sharks and jewfish - goliath grouper you can't hardly bottom fish inshore. And the sandbars and bull sharks have made live baiting kingfish off Jupiter in the spring a shark feeding frenzy.

More proof that you shouldn't believe anything you read or hear and only half of what you see.
