A heartwarming video has emerged of a boater freeing a sea turtle from a fishing net off the coast of Cedar Key, Florida. <br /><br />The footage, filmed earlier this month, shows the man pulling the turtle out of the water and cutting it free from the net before he releases it in the ocean.<br /><br />The filmer wrote online: ''We were going back to the spot from where we had drifted from when we saw the top of a fishing rod sticking up out of the water.''<br /><br />''We came up to it and saw something next to it. It moved and took the rod with it, that's when we realized it was a sea turtle attached to it.''<br /><br /> ''My dad pulled the struggling turtle out of the water and cut it free. It wasn't bleeding so we released the sea turtle back into the sea'', she added.
