TEN YEARS TO THE DAY, TAGGED TIGER SHARK CAUGHT A SECOND TIME

-

THIS 11ft shark was caught a decade to the day since it was last landed.

The colossal tiger shark was tagged and released off the coast of Texas, USA, in late 2006 when it was a juvenile less than 3ft long – then it went off the radar for 10 years.

But rumours that the predator had died were scotched when shorecaste­r Zach Wolk beached the giant and the tag was discovered intact.

Incredibly, Zach’s shark took the bait at a spot less than 40 miles away from where it was last let go as a pup.
