Is it this one?
I think someone may have got some underwater footage of your tiger shark capture later that night.

From the WA Underwater Photographic Society facebook page:
"Saturday night we went back hoping we may see some of the other very pregnant sea horses release their sprog & when entering the water was told that there was a tiger shark dumped at the end & also a big knife. We assumed someone had killed it, like the poor eagle ray seen the previous dive. When we did chance across the shark I started to take a bit of video footage on my Canon G9 as I knew it was too dirty to try taking photos. Was amazed on nearing the head end to see the sharks mouth move slightly, it was trying to breathe. Darcie righted it & then pushed it forwarded in the water & soon it swam off. I could not believe how quickly it revived itself :-)"

i would also think that
i would also think that trying to beach any shark from that jetty would be a must instead of yanking it up with your wind on peeps

Jeez the kids only 16! at the
Jeez the kids only 16! at the same age I would have been just as stoked and done something similar.... Get the Shark up Take a photo and chuck it back.
Maybe one of the more experinced beach/jetty/Rock anglers could teach him a better way to do it. After all he did try and do the righty and let it go.
