Crikey!

Shark fishing:

An Australian man who caught a 4ft shark with his bare hands says he only did it because he was drunk.

When he spotted the 4ft bronze whaler shark, he climbed down a ladder and followed the shark as it swam around the jetty.

Then he stripped off and launched himself into the water.

After a short wrestle, Mr Kerkhof pulled the shark on to the jetty, to the cheers of his watching mates. His only injury was a scratch where the shark bit a hole in his jeans.

Maybe he thought it was a stingray.


(Yeah, yeah... Straight to Hell for me. Window seat in smoking, please.)
