A Melbourne fisherman has caught a 2.4m bronze whaler shark after an epic three hour battle in Port Phillip Bay.

Nick Stambanis was fishing from his rubber dinghy:rolleyes: near Rye at about midday when he hooked the 120kg monster.
He spent the next three hours fighting to keep hold of the shark as it dragged him 10 kilometres out to the shipping channel.

After abandoning the dinghy for a larger boat Mr Stambanis was eventually able to beach the shark on the Rosebud foreshore.
He said he would turn the big fish into many big meals.
"[I'll] eat it for about six months," Mr Stambanis told National Nine News.
A spokeswoman from the Department of Fisheries said there are no restrictions on the catch and the man could do what he liked with the shark.
Bronze whaler sharks, which can grow up to 3.5m, are common along the eastern coast of Australia and are known for their aggressive behaviour.
Although they have attacked people, there are no recorded fatalities involving the shark.

gees they over-egsadurate (sp?) somethings;):lol:
Thought you guys would think its funny too
 
How did that crap make the news? If he had no legs, half an arm, one eye and wrestled it to shore by hand it MIGHT be worthy of the attention :lol: Caught bigger sharks off the local jetty......

Good tucka all the same.
 
The whole rubber dinghy thing did crack me up! Picturing a guy in a little dinghy being dragged 10km - what a goose :)
 
The news will blow anything out of proportion for a story!

These days you take half of what they say as true.
 
i reckon the blokes a champ, just him 3 game rods and a dingy...............did anyway say balls...i like the fact hes gonna eat it too and not just doing it for heroic status.
 
Deary me.... I kind of wish the shark had won when he was 10km out in the channel, and left him there in his damn rubber dingy.

Rubber ducky I looooove youuuu....
