AUSTRALIA: two mega sharks caught and released



Two fishermen, Joshua Butterworth and Jethro Bonnichta, spent 10 days fishing on a beach north of Carnarvon,  in Western Australia, and caught and released 30 sharks, including two “huge sharks”

On their Facebbok accounts posed for photos of a massive hammerhead shark and an equally huge tiger shark that were estimated to weigh between 780 and 880 pounds.

Jethro , who spent more than an hour and a half battling the 13.5 foot hammerhead, which stripped out 2,500 feet of line three times, collapsed from exhaustion afterward.



The monster tiger shark took 30 to 40 minutes to land, by Bonnichta and was also over 13-feet long.

The pair also caught several lemon sharks and nurse sharks. All the sharks were released
