Nige,

 

Compliments on your bull5h!t detector

 

Another load of sensationalised tosh!

 

Seems they went to kill it and he got what was coming.

 

An experienced shark fisherman who intends to tag and release would not boat a shark. A sharks liver is a very delicate organ, and too easily damaged. If you had to boat one which is to be released use a sling.

 

Quite why the mention of 'great white shark family' other than to sensationalise, is beyond me.

 

Both porbeagle and great white are Lamniformes, commonly called 'mackerel sharks' of which there are about 16. It is not the 'Great White Shark family'

 

Journalists... ................. reliably wrong....

 

(That feels better)...

I just had to look at the report again, it takes 2 or 3 readings for all the crap to sink in. i have one piece of advice for Mr Currie the specialist shark fisherman given to me many years ago, It goes like this<<'Get it right' rather than ''get a headline'' Derek, (must get some steel toe capped boots''
