Shady Camp - Shark Attack 1m+ Barra
Hit Shady today looking for that meter barra, well we found it but not in the traditional terms.
Saw the big girl on the surface roll next to the boat, bit of commotion and we could see a shark having a go at her. Managed to get a landing net under her only just and get it out of the water before any more damage was done but she'd lost all her tail.
Measured spot on 1m even without the tail and it was a good solid fish and such a waste.

Merely a flesh-wound, sure she has had worse

Cracker of a fish, shame about the shark. Taxidermist could make a tail ...

Unlucky mate, tax man never miss an opportunity. Awesome fish tho did look healthy
Caution: there’s something fishy about this fella…
Fishing isn’t a matter of life and death…. It’s much more important.

Hi Ronje
That is a perfect example of lordosis. A curvature of the spine that is common in hatchery reared fish mostly due to a deficiency
