My biggest catch ever. Had to have help from the crew to get it up. A Sharptooth Lemon Shark that could have been 2.5-3 meter long and weighing up to 150 kg (again according to the fishing charter crew). The captain decided to cut the line when he saw the beast.
Foul hooked. Released without coming into boat.
Survey with Traditional Owners.
A small shark that was caught by fishermen and left of the beach.
Leaving the remains of fish cleaning in the sand on a popular swimming beach gives anglers a bad name.
