Fishermen catch and release terrifying 8ft bull shark in Sydney Harbour

Two Sydney fishermen caught a terrifying bull shark in the city’s famous harbour, sharing their exploits with the beast on TikTok.

In a caption for the clip, which has been viewed over 668,000 times, the fishermen claim it isn’t even the biggest they’ve seen.
