SYDNEY, Oct 14 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Fishermen are often known to tell tall tales, but for eight-year-old Aussie, Jayden Milauro, there’s no need to exaggerate, after reeling in a 314 kg tiger shark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to local media, the youngest member of the Port Hacking Game Fishing Club said, the monster creature was caught with a 15-pound line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I was trying to hold myself by pushing off the wall in the boat,” he told Nine News, on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The catch is yet to be officially recognised as a junior world record, with the current top spot set in 1997, standing at 312 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barley fitting onto the crews’ 7.2-metre boat, the shark was eventually able to be lifted on board after about three hours, and taken to the Sylvania Marina, where it was weighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We were near a popular spot called Browns Mountain, off the continental shelf, off Sydney. That’s all I’ll say because a true fisherman never gives away his spots,” Jayden’s father told Newscorp,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We were berleying up and at 11.15 a.m. (local time) we spotted the shark as it came up to the back of the boat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fishing with his father since he was just two years old, Jayden said, his new goal is to break the world record for the largest Mako shark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We threw a couple of baits and threw a line in and the shark grabbed it.”– NNN-AGENCIES <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
