Can't say I would have posed in knee deep water, a self preservation thing I guess. I'm surprised that such a big shark would be caught in a net for so long. Wonder if it was even 10yr old.
a few weeks back when i was there! the day i watched them pull in there net for 6 salmon the next 2 ton there good blokes! they leave the net set overnight then pull it in the morning, im surprised that shark didnt just break there net.
Were they pro fishermen or amateurs?
Sounds like the net was a stopper, used to stop schools of salmon from travelling further during the night so they school up and wait until a beach seine net is run around them.
On GWN news it says the shark was cut up and turned in to fertiliser, no mention of where the fins and jaws went.
it does stop them but no net is run around them afterwards they just pull the net in with a couple of tractors! but i do agree with what is said further down its sad there just minced into cat food!
Sorry, but I dont agree with salmon pro netting killing whole schools basically for catfood, and even more so the net left in overnight to kill sharks.....
Hard for the pro's who rely on this for their livelihood and no one wants to see hard working people out of pocket, would require government buyout so the pros are reasonably compensated. Not an easy issue, but I would be prepared to pay two or three times as much for my fishing liscence to stop this stuff and improve gthe catch and release salmon fishery.
They have the cannery at Albany that does them for human consumption and usually whats left or not cold enough when it reaches the cannery gets frozen and done in to cutlets for cray bait.
We mostly did ours for cray bait because after you work out the cost of ice, transport of the fish in crates to Albany and then the return of the crates back to Dunsborough there was bugger all profit in it.
If they are just meshing them then they will be going for cray bait because they go off pretty quickly if left in the net for too long. [Bastards of things to unmesh because of their deep gill covers.
That was me in pics,was just a pic with a dead shark or so i thought. Anyway got 40 salmon in 3 days,hooked up to something big the night the shark drowned,spooled me....
