In 2016, there was a shark attack in the northern part of New South Wales.

The shark possibly involved was caught off Seven Mile Beach some time later.

The fisherman who caught the shark was fighting a 6-foot hammerhead he had hooked when it was swallowed by a large tiger shark. The tiger shark was then hauled into a fishing boat. Its jaws were stripped out as a trophy.

The fisherman added the tiger shark, compared to some of the others he had seen, only was " ... a little one ...".  

The photographs were posted by Geoff Brooks:

I actually remember this case and it was controversial. Some experts estimated based on photos, that it would have been around 4 meters, but difficult to say. Still obviously a real fisherman, who got it. Biggest ones are always the ones, which they didn´t catch ´m sure, that if someone gets one day a 6 meter great white, there was at least 8 meters long passing the boat same time  

But who knows, maybe this was around 5 meters, 6 meters would be world record tiger shark as far as I know(?). This one is one of those remaining partial mystery. Pity, that even in these days something like this can´t be really confirmed. It´s said, that jaws would be somewhere, but no information about those and whole shark just vanished. I have to say, that I don´t believe that this was world record size, but big one for sure. Reply
