Great White off Two Rocks
Submitted by fishmad69 on Sat, 2011-03-19 12:16
Hey Guys
Went fishing off Two Rocks yesterday and had a 5m - 5.5m Great White hang around the boat for about 40mins. It was unreal to see one in real life. There will be a small section on chanel seven news tonight. Got a sensational Video and a heap of photo of it. We just finished having a BBQ on the boat and I jumped in the water and straight out and less than a minute later this shark surfaced. I'm lucky to be here today I think it must have been close when i was in the water. Needless to say have bought a lotto ticket on the way home.
Cheers

Yeah Video is better but 53Mb so a little big. I was only in water for a second just to cool off but yes i think I'm very lucky or unlucky to jump in where one was. We were about 35km offshore so no kid swimming

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

close one
What a great pic.
I would have to think he had joined you some time before you went for a swim......
I don't suppose it would get much closer than that, 35km out not sure I'd be taking a dip, but the water looks fantastic.
thanks for sharing the pics & story.

Was just watching the news and saw the little bit of footage. Some nice video there. Would have been a fantastic experience but you obviously had a bit of luck on your side.

Yeah excellent experience.
Yeah excellent experience. It's not my boat I was the idiot staanding at the back and the idiot in the water. Trust me i wasn't in the water for more than 10 seconds out there but I won't be doing it again. It must be a 1 in million chance to jump in the water with one. But with all that it is great fishing rig.
