Monster 700-pound tiger shark caught by 8-year-old boy on fishing trip: 'The adrenalin was pumping'

"The adrenalin was pumping from the moment we all spotted the shark at the boat," the boy's father told the media outlet, adding:"So Jayden grabs the rod [and] we harnessed him up."

The shark catch reportedly took place at an undisclosed location about 160 k.m. south of Sydney close to an area known as Browns Mountain. The child successfully baited the 692 pound shark, then used side of the boat as leverage to keep it on the end of a 33 pound line. Images published online show the tiger shark was eventually reeled onboard."I was trying to hold myself, by pushing off the wall in the boat," Jayden told 9News., which posted a picture showing the shark hanging after being weighed."Pending World, Aust & NSW record 314kg to Port hacking smallfry Jayden," it wrote.

His father has since defended the decision to keep the shark, indicating it was too good of a catch to set free,newspaper reported yesterday."The majority of sharks that are caught are let go," Millauro said."With this one, fisheries will take samples for research, and the jaws will get moulded into in a plaque on the wall for Jayden. The rest is fish and chips."

White people killing beautiful things while they’re minding their business and not bothering anyone...for sport and 🧻 thin egos

How can you celebrate the meaningless destruction of a shark or any animal by an 8 y/o trophy hunter? He should be shamed and you should be for carrying the story

🤬🤬🤬

It was too good of a catch to set free. That’s the worst reason I can think of for being about to catch and keep a shark.

Monster 700 pound tiger shark caught by 8 y.o. boy on fishing trip in Australia. 😮🙄🇦🇺🦈

Nope, not possible. It may have been hooked while he was holding the rod, but he most certainly did not land it by himself. Plus, I hope they released it. What a magnificent animal.

I hope they let the shark go.

Lol! I think that if he was 8 years old he didn't pull in a 700 pound shark by himself. A sensational story though, but not truly a fact based story. Tell us the truth about how it was done.

At any point during the fight, did anyone say it? 'You're gonna need a bigger boat.'

Really? fishing

“Monster”? That shark was a living being. Why does anyone celebrate the pointless taking of an animal’s life and make it seem normal by calling the animal a monster? We are so thoughtlessly stupid.
