Fisherman lands huge SHARK off Wexford coast

Fisherman lands huge SHARK off Wexford coast

Is Ireland set to become the next Amity Island?

If last week's shark attack in Cork wasn't terrifying enough, the Irish Independent has released this footage of a terrifying catch off the Wexford coast.

Hobby fisherman, Cerjegs Zamahaev, had been casting for cod off Hook Head when he suddenly felt a bite.

After two minutes of reeling in, it turned out to be the biggest 'cod' he'd ever seen.

Great white? Nope, but it was a tope or school shark, which are relatively common in our waters at this time of the year.

Cerjegs released the shark before heading home.

Thankfully, the vulnerable-listed species is not known to attack humans.

Hat tip to Amy Molloy of the Irish Independent for the story.
