Man catches 8ft-long shark

A cool video has emerged of a fisherman catching an 8ft shark off the coast of South Australia last week.

The footage shows Jack Jacobs - a fisherman who has a history of catching massive fish - reeling in the enormous Bronze Whaler shark at Lipson Cove.

According to the filmer, the shark took around 25 minutes to reel in, where it was tagged and then released after measurements and photos were taken.

Jacobs previously managed to catch a 10ft shark at the same location, footage of which was uploaded to his YouTube channel.
