Addison Hodge, a 15-year-old boy, caught a 2.8m bull shark in Sydney Harbour, last Saturday. “I estimate that he easily weighed 140 kilograms,” he told Australian media. The battle cost him a great deal of effort and three quarters of an hour. “That thing almost pulled me into the water,” it reads.
About 20 kilometers away in Little Bay, swimmer Simon Nellist was recently killed by a shark, also believed to be a bull shark.
