The tiger shark, about 5 meters long, was overtaken by Australian fishermen

On September 15, fishermen shared three photos they took with a giant tiger shark.

We measured 4.8 meters from the tail to the tail so we guessed it was about 5 meters long or even 5 feet long. , 2 meters. This is probably our new record, "said the fisherman's note on his Facebook page.

3 fishermen stated on their Facebook page that after catching the rare fish they usually released them. However, one observer said the animal seems to have died based on its appearance.
