Massive shark caught off the coast of South Australia
Ten foot shark caught and released by South Australian fisherman
A fishing enthusiast has captured the moment he reeled in a huge 10 foot bronze whaler shark after a two hour stand-off on a beach.
Daring Jack Jacobs described the catch as ‘a fish of a life for me’ on his YouTube channel, where he posted an eight minute snapshot of his battle with the beast.
Before the shark comes into view, the fisherman is seen clinging onto his rod as a crowd gathers around him in anticipation on a beach in South Australia.
After hours of back and forth, the 200kg shark emerges into the shallow water after being ‘caught on a chunk of eagle ray as bait’.
‘It took several long powerful runs and led me up and down the beach,’ Jacobs said.
He had been trying to catch the fish for ‘several years’ and used a custom made shark rod.
