Front Page of the West
Submitted by Cameron71 on Mon, 2012-10-22 12:16
Is that a fishrecked boy on the front page today?
I am waiting for more shark hysteria.....
I don't actually shark fish but I see the attraction. Its newsworthy I guess, and he will want to keep that page, but I can't help thinking that a lower profile might be a good idea (which is not intended to be a criticism of the guys who got the shark - you can't exactly stick a fish that size down your jumper and walk off whistling nonchalantly).
I believe this was on TV as well.
Have the calls to ban shark fishing from the shore started?
Anyway, sterling effort IMO.

Cam, I hope these blokes
Cam, I hope these blokes aren't from FW I have fished the ammo jetty quite a few time for bait... All I can say is these kids need to learn some manners... They are abusive, carry on like they own the place, and I have phone video footage of them threatening violence, ie told a young fella they would stab him if he didn't mind his own business, due to questioning them about undersized fish... So if they are on here, hang your head in shame

We live and learn, so hope fully these fellas don't upset the wrong person some time, and it was around 12 month ago (how ever the same little group hang there)

BS
Yeah what a load of crap "caught with a fishing rod",dont worry about the balloon hanging of the rig. Not quite as sensational if it was hooked way out from shore. Its not like they were fishing for tailor and caught the thing !! Typical media bs
If fishing is a sport I,m an elite athlete

Yeah the media is BS, I am
Yeah the media is BS, I am sure the local 'papers' have full time shark hysteria departments dedicated to reporting every single shark sighting and making sure everyone knows that they will be eaten alive if they enter the water. Funny how they don't mention that the sharks are more than likley hanging around the ammo jetty because they are being baited.

Curious
I might have to re-read the WEST again, but I got the impression the article indicated the shark was returned to the water. I have never caught a shark or seen one caught except on TV etc
They are always fighting like hell on the beach or the boat. I'm suss about that boy being able to hold on to that tail whilst the photo was taken and the other kids were that close.
It looks dead to me!!
If so, what happened to it after the photo shoot? A lot of fillets in that shark??!!

Ben Cousins, then came Qantas, boat people and now its sharks, I dont follow the sheep and read the paper or watch the news, ya ya ya, never get the full story, media control society's (sheep) opinions
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Well done then mate. I spose if they're there your going to catch them with a decent sized bait and rig. Good to see the release side of things no point in waste killing.
