This shot was taken by a friend off North QLD. To give you a clue as to how big the Tigershark was, the little shark being taken in one mouthfull was just a tad under six feet or 1.83 metres.

I'll have a go.....5 meters!

Certainly bigger than a breadbox!!! Makes you think twice about going for a dip on the outer reef doesn't it.

Heres a little saying I've stuck to since moving to the Territory-


If it hasn't got a black line on the bottom I ain't swimming.

Under 4m. 3.8m?

That's propbaly only a 4 or 5 footer hes got in his(her) mouth.

Hmmmm 'bout this big....

Holy Smokes! I will guess 26 feet.

Somewhere in the 19 to 20 foot region. My friend caught sharks professionally so I think he's pretty good at guessing sizes. All that was left was a bit of head and some odds and ends.

Looks like a tiger shark. My guess is 12 to 13 feet.

I just spoke to a friend who game fishes and one of the guys in his club recently caught a Tigershark that weighed in at 780kg or 1700 plus lbs in the old scale. They were in a 21 ft boat and the shark was just slightly smaller than the boat.
