Subscriber only A group of Sydney fishermen were not fully equipped for their monster find on the weekend after they reeled in a mammoth 395kg tiger shark during a fishing competition. Port Hacking Game Fishing Club member Paul Barning and his crew, on a boat dubbed the Dark Horse , were photographed struggling to fit the huge fish onto their vessel. The tiger shark was caught on a 15kg break line about 15km off the coast, between Botany Bay and Port Hacking, during the NSW Game Fishing Association Interclub State Championships over the weekend. Â Â Â Â The successful catch came after the crew lost a fish they had hooked a day earlier after spending a gruelling six hours trying to bring it on board.
