Dubious story.
I love the pic of the guy standing next to the shark that he "Wrestled" after an undisclosed number of shots had been put into it by "some blokes" followed by 9 "spear fitted with a shotgun cartridge" shots.
The buggar must have taken some wrestling after that - brave men those Aussies.
They should have just cut the net and let the thing go - one less Great White chalked up to commercial fishing - *******s. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Wasn't the typical commercial fishing operation either. If you haven't heard about them before, in the past 2 or 3 years commercial "farms" have been set up in the seas to raise fish.

They have been farming salmon off the west coast of Scotland for 30 years - it definatley causes problems - the seabed around all the farms is dead.
I still think this story is bad - to save a few dollars they "had no choice" but to kill the shark - I still stand beside the *******s statement.
