Big shark #4 (photos now up)
Got another big one today, was a 2.2m long nose grey shark, tried sorting out the video of the release but gave up for now so when i get home ill put it up.
The greys are psyco they don't tire and even when there on the beach they just won't quit!!!! Took 40 mins to steer him onto the beach. got a few photos of me strugling to drag him up the beach while holding the wind on leader, gave up trying to move him after a while just to dam heavy haha. this guy just would not keep still!!!! at least the big bronzies just lay there and dont do a whole lot..JPG)

Only got one more morning to get the 3m+ one before I'm off home ( not sure if my back can even take it hahaha). the weather has started to turn and was drizzling a bit before so i called off fishing tomoro, wet rocks and fishing on my own cause my mate is off to kalbarri is not cool.
all in all very happy with my effort of 4 sharks over 2m from 3 trips to the beach. got over 50 big salmon on lures and baits with all of them on either 10 or 20lb.
cheers Chris.....
always looking for a new challenge!!

Surely they can't fine you
Surely they can't fine you for catching and releasing a GW off the beach? How are you to know it's a GW until it's nearly at the beach?
By that stage it would be better to get the hook out and release it, if it wasn't too big IMO.
Great catches BTW!!

I rang and asked fisheries
I rang and asked fisheries that, I said if its an accidental catch what's the deal can't I land it and release it?? After getting passed around a fair bit I finally got an answer. I'm told as soon as I know it's a great white I have to cut my line. It's the same deal with grey nurses because there protected to.

I know the hooks will
I know the hooks will disappear pretty quickly unless there stainless. Still seems a bit mad. Sharks are pretty tough cookies and release really well so don't see the problem. Good on ya for checking up on it.
