An 18-year-old fisherman has reeled in a great white shark at the Bowentown end of Waihi Beach, not far from where a woman was killed by one last month.
Kaelah Marlow, 19, from Hamilton died after a shark attack at Bowentown on January 7.
Te Awamutu s Tim Fairhurst said he and some friends were on the hunt for bronze whaler sharks in the channel of water between Bowentown Beach and Matakana Island when they snagged something much more powerful.
