A BRISBANE fisherman has reeled in a large hammerhead shark right at the mouth of the Brisbane River.
The approximately 3.2m hammerhead was pulled in by Kurt Ockenfels and his mates on Thursday.
Mr Ockenfels said it had been a surprise to find such a large shark so close to Brisbane.
“I have caught sharks like this before but this hammerhead of this size is a real surprise,” he wrote on Facebook.
“I know you can catch big bulls like the beastly one Terry Hessey caught years back but i think this is out of this world. It shows you dont need to travel hundreds of kms to catch 10ft+ sharks, they are in fact right on our door step.”
The shark was caught, tagged and released safely back into the wild.
Mr Ockenfels said he had been using 80 pound braided line with a small stingray for bait.
