Tiger Shark caught off Woodies
Submitted by Just1morecast on Thu, 2011-01-20 08:43
Just got a text from my brother said a guy from our works mate has been getting alot of sharks, in fact its his 4th tiger in 2 weeks. Not sure whether its been killed or not, I hope not. But the pic tells as if its been killed.
Def a sign of water temps going up, Last time i was out Direction Bank i thought i saw a school of tuna got closer and they didnt spook, turned out to be a hammerhead feeding on a big rotting cuttlefish.
Mobile phone pic sorry

Sorry but what a bloody Jerk.... I am a big fan of release and this would only be the trophy of the jaws and look what I caught... thats what a camera is for.
I have caught hundreds of sharks, and in my younger days i was stupid and kept them. but they are such a beautifull fish that needs to be protected no matter what species.

Capture
Quality land based capture, regardless of the final result.
If it was only killed for gratification then yeah its a waste, but if it was used or consumed in some way then while it may be sad for some it isn't unethical.

I dont get it
We go out catch a resonable ammmount of fish and we kill them then somone catches what I hear is a nasty shark and everyone goes how dare he kill it. Is it not true tigersharks are up there as being a nasty little thing. So he killed it, how does that differ us catchin a duhie and killing that ? yes he may have kept it for a trophy, but then so is catchin a fish and bringin home the fillets. I dont think somone should head off and wantomly kill everything that moves and personaly I release all the sharks I have caught and would not go within 5m of the leader on this one and would just cut it. But I dont think we should judge and say how could he kill it. If we catch a shark and kill it in some manner dont we matain the balance ? we catch fish - shark eat fish, we kill the odd shark less sharks to eat the fish and when its 3m long and can eat somone and he wants to keep it go for it.
Its not exactly and endangered species and clearly past any minimum size limits that may ever be set on them, its no diffrent then us with the duhies, snapper, ba with their throats cut and us proudly saying look at this.

Valid point synthos but this
Valid point synthos but this shark would be inedible. It was killed purely for self gratification.
People would also jump up and down if someone posted a pic of a big dhu that was killed and tossed over the side wouldnt they?
As you have said, it is perhaps no different to dhuies, snapper etc. Except that they are put to good use.

I agree with synthos. Some people “cherish” sharks just because it sounds sexy. Personally don’t see a difference between killing a herring for a bait, duhie for a fillet or this shark for meat or a trophy.

There is a BIG difference
There is a BIG difference between killing a fish for a feed and killing a fish for a trophy. By killing a fish for a trophy the whole fish is merely discarded. Please don't tell me that's not a waste!
The guy who caught this is a complete Jerk!

While i dont agree with killing one, untill the law says otherwise its still legal to do .
So its really up to the person who catches it.
Years ago each one of us would of most likley killed it as this was the thing that happend and most the time no one knew otherwise but these days are different, we now know the importance of such creachers in our enviroment so its really up to the govenment to put a ban on killing these sharks.
Until then its up to the angler and all his decision

Wonder what they even did
Wonder what they even did with the bloody thing after they were finished with the pics?!
Surely not just flick it back off the jetty?
Seems a waste to me. Been fishing since I was 5 years old and never killed a fish solely to get a photo
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.

Fair Dinkum...Great Catch....Onya
Should be encouraging this bloke to come on board and do a write up on his excellent catch...rather than have rocks thrown at him...if you have personal issues regarding it...maybe you should start your own thread and anyone interested in what you have to say can comment there...rather than hijacking this one with negative comment

Funny stuff really
What do people expect when they put a pic up on these forums, there are all kinds of people with differing opinions, thats what forums are all about, why are people suprised that some are for and others against, we are all entitled to our own opinion, and putting it up on a public forum is basically inviting people to put up their opinion and comments.
Personally, i think it's a waste, if you cant eat it or release it, dont catch it. Its just more ammo for those who want to see fishing banned. It's a great landbased capture, but frankly i think the guy should be gearing himself up so these can be released, have that in mind before going out there to catch it. The guy hasn't even posted the pic himself, he might not have even wanted it posted, or even be aware it's up here.
That's my opinion.
What people should be doing is being more careful in the pics they put up, a pic of it in the water, or laying on the jetty without its guts hanging out its mouth would have been better, same with the Rays, pics with blood pouring out and tails cut off really sets the flavour for the ensuing comments.

I too want to know what happened to it
I have dived Woodmans pt ammo jetty at least 8 times in the last 4 months with tafe and the underwater sights there are something to behold. There are whole shovelnose ray skeletons and carcasses, dumped fish heads for bait, plastic bait packets, fold out chairs, rubbish, knives and shit all over the place. So much so that we are discussing doing a clean up dive there in a little while.
Ok he got it up onto the jetty, it looks pretty dead in the photo. Even if he did take some to eat what happened to the rest of it? Surely if he took all the meat off it then he is likely over the daily possession limit for fillets, or was fishing with at least 3 mates to split it up. Even then, what happened to the carcass? He didnt carry it from the woodman pt ammo jetty to the carpark to his car did he? (Its about 400mts) So then what did he do with it? Put the head into a bin and leave 6ft of shark hanging out the top? I think the jaws probably got taken and the whole lot just rolled back off the jetty and into the water to rot and attract other biteys.
Not happy jan.

Okay then how about some light reading material.
First of all, http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/pub/WestLimits/westcoast_rules_2010.pdf
MEDIUM RISK SPECIES
Whaler shark size limit change
Due to overfishing of some whaler shark species, a maximum size limit of 700 mm
(interdorsal fin length) applies to whaler sharks (Family Carcharhinidae) caught in the
West Coast and South Coast Bioregions (see illustration).
This equates to a shark of about 1.8 metres total length. Importantly, sharks larger
than this often have high concentrations of heavy metal compounds (including
mercury) in their flesh and are not suitable for human consumption.
Sharks and rays – combined Class Chondrichthyes Whaler sharks over
700 mm interdorsal fin
length are protected.
(For more Information
see page 6)
2
Second of all : http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/shark_profiles/carcharhinidae.htm
Thanks to wide exposure via television documentaries, one family of carcharhinoid has become our collective model of what a 'typical shark' looks like: the whaler or requiem sharks (family Carcharhinidae). The 57 or so species of carcharhinids are generally largish (most between 3 and 10 feet, or 1 and 3 metres, long), solidly-built sharks with few obvious distinguishing features, making it difficult to tell one species from another (among the cognoscente, they are often referred to as the "confusing carcharhinids"). Yet this family includes many of the most familiar sharks: blacktips, Blues, lemons, reef sharks, and the notorious Tiger Shark.
Thanks for pulling me up on the whole fish bag/possession limit though. I was wrong about that.

If he did manage to haul the whole thing to his car and load it in there, then respect!
Pretty good effort just hauling the thing on to the jetty, must weigh a few kilos

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

Disagree
Its great and I encourage others opinions, even if they aren't what you want to hear. It encourages debate and conversation and its better than having 30 people saying the same shit = nice catch.
This site has always prided on being able to agree to disagree as long as its in a civil manner, I try to remove the bagging and offensiveness as much as possible, but people's opinions are there own. I'm sorry that doesn't fly with people anymore.
Personally I wouldn't have kept it, but each to their own, depends on the story that goes with it.

HAHA
his names luke and he learnt from the best
yours truely, hes only just started fishing bought a tld 30 2 spead with 50lb, hooked this one only 40 metres from the jetty, this is only the second shark he has ever caught in about 4 weeks so congradulations on the catch, pitty i was not there too see such an accomplishment.
it was gut hooked and when landed on the beach had already regurdutated its stomach so what was the options here throw it back in the water and hope it sorts itself out just too let the well respected save the tree's, the animal did not go too waste and a few people will be enjoying it for dinner for the next couple of nights,
for me too catch a shark of this size would doo what i can too watch it swim free but sometimes we dont have that option, we all know there is much more worse going on around the place like the shark finning industry and too have a dig at one guy about one shark caught on rod and reel LAND BESED and not wasted. is a reel let down soo now put yourself in his shoes when he opens up this gr8 fishwrecked website and see's his ugly mug with his tiger and he reads wat people have wrote he'd probly think twice about joining up...
anyway gr8 metro catch, and surely wont be the last.
4m+ is lurking around only a matter of time

Would have been an awesome thing catching that big bastard. I wouldn't have kept it personally - dead or alive but that's because 1.) I thought it was illegal to keep Tigers? (shows how much I know about the rules) and 2.) I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it - It's massive! Good effort!

No doubt it is, was; a great
No doubt it is, was; a great catch. It takes skill to play and reel such a backburner close enough to land or gaff. I am no tree hugger, but give consideration to the next generation or if you will - people to still be able to catch such fine specimans in 50 years time. Catch and keep your size / limit for consumption and release and tag (if necessary) the rest. Take care to teach and share knowledge to the people around you. A better understanding will let certain species live a lot longer.
I doubt whether such an old fish will taste nice even after milking / buttermilking the flesh. As for keeping trophies; - in my humble opinion; they should ban it. Why have a ban on crocodile teeth and not have the same legal implications for sharks teeth? Same thing really. Anyway - that's my opinion; - still a good catch.
What was the length / weight of the Tiger. (Measured precaudel)

thats an awesome catch!
I sympathise with the angler if it was gut hooked and couldnt be released, crappy situation. Photos like this have the potential to give all people who enjoy fishing for sharks, or fishing at all, a really bad image. Large sharks play a very important role in the system. To those who want to see them all dead, who knows how that would impact your dhuie/snapper fishing down the line?
The one thing I take away from this is that I need to learn to use circle hooks. I would be devestated if i finally get a decent sized metro shark and its gut hooked....

Heaps less chance of a gut hook with circles as I understand it.... Tried and failed with circles a couple of times (no i wasnt trying to strike the fish) so have been hesitant to give them another shot but this pic might be enough to convince me.

[edit] Taxonomy
The shark was first described by Peron and Lessueur in 1822, and was given the name Squalus cuvier.[10] Müller and Henle, in 1837 renamed it Galeocerdo tigrinus.[4] The genus, Galeocerdo, is derived from the Greek, galeos which means shark and the Latin cerdus which means the hard hairs of pigs.[4] It is often colloquially called the man-eater shark.[4]
The tiger shark is a member of the order Carcharhiniformes;[10] members of this order are characterized by the presence of a nictitating membrane over the eyes, two dorsal fins, an anal fin, and five gill slits. It is the largest member of the Carcharhinidae family, commonly referred to as requiem sharks. This family includes some other well-known sharks such as the blue shark, lemon shark and bull shark.
