Massive bull shark caught and released in Sydney Harbour

09/02/2022

A 2.5m bull shark was caught on fishing line and camera in Sydney Harbour just off an inner west park last week.

The shark was landed in waters off Birchgrove’s Yurulbin Park, before the TikTok video posted on the @huss—fisho feed shows the fisherman attempting to pull it backwards into the water to release it.
