An extraordinary photo has emerged of a ‘megashark’ – estimated to be about 5m long – lurking near a tuna farm off the southern Australian coastline.
A frightening image emerged on Friday showing the apex predator prowling just metres away from a fisherman off Port Lincoln, South Australia.
‘It’s a real picture and it’s quite common for these huge sharks to haunt the tuna farms,’ online fishing identity Trapman Bermagui told Daily Mail Australia.
A commercial fisherman who runs the Trapman Bermagui social media told Daily Mail Australia the image was legit: ‘It’s a real picture and it’s quite common for these huge sharks to haunt the tuna farms’
The image shows a worker in a hi-vis pointing at the enormous great white from the safety of his fishing vessel.
A fan who sent in the image urged viewers to take into account the size of the worker: ‘See the guy in the photo for reference!’
Many fishermen were awed by the massive visitors, ‘chillin’ and waiting for some snacks’.
One described it as an ‘absolute monster’, another as a ‘megashark’ while another quipped ‘(we’re) gonna need a bigger tuna net’.
‘Probably end up on the deck of your boat,’ another joked.
