THE Australian newspaper reports footage has emerged of brave WA fishermen returning a tiger shark to the sea.
As some West Australians call for a cull to reduce the number of man-eating sharks off our coast, these anglers put their lives in danger to save the beast.
At one stage one of the fishermen sits on the 3m shark as it thrashes on the beach at Maud’s Landing in Coral Bay and pries its mouth as his friend attempts to unhook it from a fishing line.
