Selvey said he thought he saw two huge "barra" but discovered it was something else once he looked closer."That's when I realised there was a metre shark roughing it up, trying to bite it," Selvey told 4BC's Neil Breen."The shark actually just boosted away from the barra."

Bradnam said his 75-year-old father had spent his whole life trying to hook a barramundi over a metre long.Shark's dorsal fin 'zipped back up' after serious damage
