Fisherman spots great white
A great white shark has been spotted in waters off Perth's northern suburbs.
John, a fisherman out on the water this morning, phoned 6PR radio just after 10am, reporting a large great white shark that had been circling his fishing boat about three nautical miles off Mindarie Keys.
"I'm in a 19-foot boat and this thing's the size of my boat circling it," John said.
The caller said he'd been fishing at Staggie Reef when he noticed a big fin in the water.
"I got a hook up with a fish and I looked over and there was this big (shark) next to me circling the boat," he said.
"I went to all the dive boats straight away to get them out of the water."
John said he had made a video of the shark on his mobile phone and pledged to send it in to the radio station's website.
