The Amazing Stuff

Fishing is one of those rare activities that is both relaxing and exhilarating. The time between catches is serene, but when you feel that telltale tug on the end of your line, nothing could be more thrilling.

When this guy invited his daughter out for a day on the water, she insisted on bringing her Barbie fishing rod. It was all fun and games at first, but when she felt something pulling on her line, something crazy happened.

That’s insane! I’m honestly surprised that her Barbie rod didn’t break under the pressure. Catching a bass like that is every fisherman’s dream, so I bet Dad was just as jealous of his daughter as he was proud.

When you go fishing, there are bound to be a few surprises. After all, you never know what you’re going to catch. But when these two men went fishing in Siberia, the surprise that they encountered had nothing to do with the water.

Okay, I didn’t even know that camels lived in Siberia. Maybe it just wanted some fishing buddies! In any case, this is something that these fishermen won’t soon forget.

An Australian fisherman named Matthew was fishing at Tweed Heads last month when he hooked a hammerhead…but ended up with a HUGE tiger shark on his line instead. The hammerhead itself was a six foot shark — the giant that ate him? He was approximately 13 feet long.

According to Wikipedia, tiger sharks can grow to be about 10-13 feet long…but most often, anglers see sharks closer to the 10 foot end of the spectrum.

In comparison, great white sharks can grow to be 16 feet long (if they are female). Males max out around 13 feet, just like the tiger shark.

Even though a 13 foot tiger shark isn’t outlandish, these photos posted to Facebook seem absolutely insane.

Remember — this shark had to eat another shark to be hooked on this line.

Why isn’t it a surprise that this gigantic shark was caught off the coast of New South Wales, Australia?

Judging by the different reports sightings of other large specimens in the area, this photo is not a hoax. In fact, many athletes and families in the area are hoping to cull the tiger shark population to reduce the amount of shark attacks.

If you thought that shark was big, just wait until you see what bumped into this fisherman…
