This is Jackson Shaw, he is a 19-year-old who is lucky enough to have parents that own a home off a canal in Palm Beach on Australia's Gold Coast. He caught what goldcoast.com.au calls a "monster." It was just a 5-foot Bull Shark, get over yourselves.

"Finally, I pulled it on to the jetty and got some photos but I thought it was going to get off because it was so agro. When I got it in, I was just in shock and Dad was gobsmacked. He had been hassling me the worst and he didn't really have much to say after that."

LOL WUT!

Jackson wanted to keep the Shark for a trophy but luckily his mother was a lot smarter than him and made him release it. Thanks Mom, but your son did not inheret your even-mindedness.

Here is one more picture of Saturday's lucky Shark Partier from Mexico--Bruce Grimes. He plans on going back in the water once his arm heals. I hope so as he owns a surf shop close to the party area. Oh, and he did lose this thumb after all. There is video here. He says it was a 9-foot Bull Shark. Told ya so, told ya so!
