The largest caught in Australia is 10 meters.

Of course people go where they shouldn't and at this time of year, in Australia they are often attacked by sharks. The only odd thing going on is that it's starting to happen a little sooner this year. We had a guy get attacked by a white pointer off the coast of South Australia a couple days ago.

You shouldn't be under the assumption that our waters are 'tamed' at all, shark season is a fact of life down here.

They're using 'monster' as an adjective here. If we're to believe that the sydney telegraph is lying to us about it's queried experts wouldn't they set their sights a little higher? <br><br>Our coastal tourism relies on people wanting to go to the beach, not being warned off them for the sake of drawing in shark hunters.
