Cottesloe Beach was closed and drumlines deployed to catch and tag a five-metre monster shark that s been lurking off the Perth coast. The alert came from the Surf Life Saving helicopter off Cottesloe, at 9.32 on Friday morning (local time) with the alarm ringing out across the sand. Three minutes later, the beach closed and swimmers were evacuated from the water. Fisheries deployed four drumlines, using pink snapper to attract the predator but the mission didn t quite go to plan. The mammoth creature got tangled in the lines and thrashed against the side of the boat, which was approximately one kilometre offshore.
