Do you think the same Heroes in the West may have caught this?
Submitted by Willlo on Mon, 2012-10-22 14:34
Had this sent to me by a mate who was down at one of those jetties checking on what was being caught.Said it had been left there but was gone by that evening. I wont lose any sleep over it but its a bit of a waste,if you arent going to keep it let it go eh.

Bloody disgraceful , hate seeing animals do shit like that . What if someone did that to a dog , or any animal in fact and just left it for all to see like they have . Very wrong .

asumption

cheers i just want to make it clear to people this is not the same person !!! i dont want people to think my mate may harm or kill sharks for no reason. WHY do i care because he is my mate and dont want people having ago at him like they have previously on the forum. i just saw the title as sarcastic thats all not really a question must be a misinterpretation.

Whats the difference between
Whats the difference between cutting the head off a shark and leaving it like some bloody trophy in the sun ,and hacking fins off for a bloody soup ? Not much in my book , its another wasted beatiful shark that should have been cut off and set free . Fair enough no probs catching it , but to do that ? Look at the kids , laughing at it ,what are we teaching . Who ever does shit like that shouldn't even be called a fisherman , bloody butcher !

Nah Jack wasnt meaning to
Nah Jack wasnt meaning to point the finger title was worded wrong mate,dont worry i have caught plenty of sharks from the shore and its great fun even kept a few.I am not metro but from what i read and hear the Ammo jetty has a bit of a rep for anti social behaviour etc.When i saw this pic i wasnt impressed ,i am no fan of big sharks but hate to see anything killed for no reason.If you know who did it then maybe you could have a quiet word re the consequences of leaving a carcass on a jetty like that.As others have said it only takes a few to mess it up for everyone.i wouldnt want to see the authorities stop people fishing from the jetty just cause someone didnt think.You can lock the thread if you want but its a bit like sticking your head in the sand,it happened its fact and if everyone states that they arent happy with what happened maybe the greenies will realize that the majority of fisho's are responsible and the person who did it will realize its not on.

this shark was hooked a night before this photo and was brought to the jetty and wrapped itself around a pylon and could not move causing it to die, i was down there the following day and the divers had managed to get it out and brought it onto the jetty so the jaws could be removed.

Fair enough , but something should have been done with it , if you claim the jaws etc , at least bury the remains .

Fair enough, but you have to admit leaving it on the jetty like that wasnt the smartest move.I did hear that it was only left for a day,tho long enough for this pic to be taken.Antsey what species of shark was it mate i thought large bronzie but a few mates have said different.By the way congrats on your epic sharking season keep up the good work some great captures.

Saw a picture of a very similar looking shark, on the jetty, on the exact same block, with a head, possibly the day before this photo as heardthe fish was released.
Dont know if it was the same shark as I was not there and I am no scientist.
Not a good sight when there are already hoards and media against fishing.

Maybe reason for no body
Maybe reason for no body taking it home to eat, is that large sharks contain huge amounts of heavy metals (lead, ammonia, mercury? ect, and are not exactly safe to eat. But it depends where they are from.
Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.

And do you know what happened
And do you know what happened to that carcass!, later that afternoon i was fishing a coogee jetty not woodies jetty which is approximately 1 km down the coast or so it had washed up on the beach headless with no fins.. The reason this shark died and i can verify that is because the fisherman that hooked it got it tangled underneath the jetty it busted off and he snapped half his rod so the poor shark was stuck under there with a rig around its body and half a rod hanging off. Next day few divers were down and found the carcass of the shark they had "lost" the previous day. They pulled it up took a photo took the head off and fins chucked it back in...

sorry but
sorry man but it seems to me that you think the fisherman got it tangled on purpose as if they wanted to kill it"the fisherman that hooked it got it tangled underneath the jetty" which is not true these blokes love the ocean and respect it was just an externality of fishing mate not there fault he snapped his rod trying to not let it tangle itself.

Same kind of thing happens
Same kind of thing happens when out in the boat,especially with Dhufish.You catch one it may be undersize so you let it go .It then pops up dead and floats away.Not much you can do about it you cant keep it by law.It is extremely frustrating and just one of thoes things.When i posted this pic i was pissed off as well but after the guys have explained what happened i fully understand.What i cant understand is why this pic is up in recent photos when i posted it on the 22nd and there have been heaps of pics posted since then?

Dhuie won't pop up and float away mate if you take the time as required by law to use a release weight. Never had one come back up from the depths. No excuse.

I was of the impression the law only required you to carry a Release weight if targeting demersal, not that you are legally required to actually use it. Though one would think if you carry it you would use it.
Either way i carry one and i use it. But obviously you hear of alot of blokes on here releasing Dhuis on the surface and them swimming back down seemingly all good.

Cheers John we do wind them
Cheers John we do wind them in slow when it feels like a Dhuie,like your idea re the float clip will give it a try.Just to clear up i said that we let them go,when we do its with a release weight.The few times its happened its been because the fish has had its neck pierced by the hook and has bled out.Very unlucky but that was the point i was trying to make about the shark.The guys explained it had been caught up in the pylons and drowned sometimes these things happen unlucky again.I wasnt impressed that it had been left on the jetty not a good look.NUf said.
