Danny Green might be in a bit of strife ?
Submitted by Dizzy on Mon, 2013-01-28 18:37
Just saw this on Facebook
He's caused quite a commotion, with plenty saying they've reported it to fisheries.
Must be close to the 700mm Dorsal/Interdorsal limit with Danny being 6'1" / 185cm and all ?
Probably not the best idea to post the pic, let alone lie down next to it like this ....

Saw that this morning.
I was more interested where he was fishing to get the barra. He was asking for tips on metro sharks last week.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

If you've ever wondered who all the zealots are that are against fishing, hunting, eating meat etc then have a read of some of the comments on Danny's page. Fark me, get a job the lot of you.

I agree with the headline bit
I agree with the headline bit mate - but if you're anywhere near 6ft, measure 700mm up from your kneecap and you'll see it doesn't get anywhere near where that Dorsal fin is starting on his chest ;)

Regs
Better read the fisheries regs again, the 700 is only for bronze whalers is the way I interpret it. Says nothing about tigers.
Edit, re read the regs and they have included tigers in with whalers and spinners but the size restrictions only apply in the West and South bioregions.
Danny''s pic looks to have been taken in Onslow?

Shire of Ashburton plated car? The background doesnt look anything like Onslow, unless they have made some pretty impressive changes in 3 months.

Yep, I saw the Ashburton
Yep, I saw the Ashburton plates too and was going to bomb the Facebook ranters with a copy of the North Coast bioregion regs - but reckoned the street looked wayy too flash for Onslow.
Then I read further and saw he was asking for advice on how to catch Metro sharks in close so he could take his kid, and wanted recommendations for Cockburn Sound. ( last week on his FB page )
Who knows - for all we know maybe the North-based skipper was down this way and they fished per North Coast regs ?
PS : C'nite - yep, I double checked the regs before posting - didn't want to look like a goose ;)

Tigers
Tigers come under whalers in the regs Carnarvonite.
Have a look at the bottom of this page http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/Species/sharks/Pages/Shark-recreational-fishing.aspx
There used to be a booklet fisheries produced that listed all the species included as whalers including the Tiger Shark. Cant find it online but needed it for the fishing club when the rules came in so I know its around.

As from the 1st of Feb
As from the fisrt of Feb 2013, Sharks are in the Large Pelagic Finfish group = 3 x Pelagics Per Fisher .
I cant find any info about Gummy size limits in the new rules only the above mentioned 700mm Whaler size . ( which i think they need to review , there is definately no shortage of large Whaler species out there . )

Personal
Personal experience.....Tiger shark is tough and the bigger you go the worse it gets.. Hammerheads are the best eating shark I've ever caught and ate. Because Danny is a celebrity he's an easy target. If it was one of us a word wouldn't be mentioned, no mileage. Tell em to F^%&*k off Danny.
Love the West!

Seriously ?Whenever there's
Seriously ?
Whenever there's a mention of someone taking illegal fish on here you can guarantee a few pages of responses, whether it's a FW member or not.
Plus most of us here know better - and I can't remember the last time I saw someone posting a pic of a big shark that wasn't released.
....and nearly all of the big shark catches finish up with a comment saying how stoked they were to see it swim off successfully.
I was in DG's corner ('scuse the pun) when I saw the Ashburton plate, but when it became clear this was a metro shark things changed a bit.
The more I look at it, the more I think it was a clueless waste of a good 2m+ Tiger - Oversize, tough as old boots, unbled, contaminated... why ???
Fair enough, he says they're going to eat it but I reckon by the time he is educated by some of the (rational) comments he's getting and reads the fishing regs he might rethink feeding it to his family.
If he was a nobody named Hu Flung Dung you can guarantee he'd be copping an absolute flogging on here whether it was an oversize shark or 10cm Snapper, so why should "celebrity" DG be off limits ?

Legal catch
It's a legal catch and he's stated he's going to eat it.
Not a huge shark by any means, probably the equivalent of a 5kg red emperor in the grand scheme of things.
Anglers shouldn't need to apologise to the hand wringing brigade for undertaking their rapidly diminishing legal pastime and legally capturing a target species. They can GAGF I reckon.
Good on him.

question
what would one do with a 2m Tiger Shark, eat it? I've hooked up on heaps of sharks and I just release them. Am I missing something?
