Disturbing Moment A Shark Is Pulled Out Of The Ocean By A Fisherman With Half Its Body Missing After Being Eaten Alive

A pair of fishermen have pulled a shark missing most of its body from the depths of the ocean.

Sammy Hitzke and Shaun Whale shared footage of their extraordinary find during a fishing trip off the coast of Queensland, about 250km from the Gold Coast.

The two men managed to hook what they initially believe is a big fish on the other end and spend the next several hours trying to reel it in.

As Shaun reels in the catch closer to the pair’s boat, the two men discover they have actually hooked a big shark.

‘It could be a shark,’ Sammy tells Shaun as their catch heads towards the surface and becomes more visible.

The pair notice a chunk of the shark’s torso missing, with Sammy adding: ‘It looks like it’s been sharked. Shark’s been sharked.’

They manage to pull the dead shark, which they identify as a thresher shark, to the surface of the water as they begin to inspect it.

The thresher appears to only have its vertebrae connecting the front half of its body – from the pectoral fins to its tail, with the remainder of the shark’s flesh eaten away.

As the two men haul the dead fish up onto their boat, Sammy notices that the shark also has another hook lodged into its mouth.

‘I can’t believe he got sharked. Sharks getting sharked,’ the YouTuber says with excitement.

‘This is epic, this is proper epic. He’s got three quarters of himself missing.’

Sammy and Shaun eventually get the shark onto their boat to have a better look.

Wow, wow, wow, that’s a proper monster of the deep,’ Sammy continued.

He later identifies shark teeth marks along the thresher’s gills.

‘Not going to lie to ya, I’m absolutely exhausted,’ Shaun tells the camera. ‘This might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen on the ocean.’

‘I’ve done a lot of fishing, I’ve spent a lot of time out in the big blue and not once did I think it was a thresher shark that got eaten by something I can only imagine that was absolutely massive. This might be the most epic thing I’ve seen off-shore.’

Many followers of the pair expressed their amazement by the unique find in the comment section of the YouTube video and congratulated the two fisherman.

Others tried to take a guess what creature ate from the shark’s body, with some guessing different shark species while one or two users suggested a giant squid could be the culprit.

Researchers find potentially dangerous bacteria on smartwatch wristbands

Researchers have found cloth, plastic and rubber smart watch wristbands can create ideal environments for bacteria linked to staph infections and E.coli. The study from Florida Atlantic University analysed 20 smartwatch wristbands worn by a mix of men and women made of materials like metal, leather, plastic, cloth and rubber. They found near all the bands were contaminated, but those made of metals such as gold or silver harboured little to no bacteria. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Meanwhile, wristbands made of cloth had the most bacteria, followed by those made of plastic and rubber. In the study, published in the journal of Advances in Infectious Diseases, researchers said it was because “porous and static surfaces tend to attract and be colonised by bacteria”. The researchers found common bacteria on the bands was linked to very contagious staph infections, E.coli, which can cause food poisoning or pneumonia, as well as pseudomonas aeru

Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian troops have started their long-expected counteroffensive KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses. His comments came just hours after a string of drone strikes inside Russian territory. It was Putin's latest effort to shape the gut-wrenching narrative of the invasion he ordered more than 15 months ago, sparking widespread international condemnation and reviving Cold War-style tensions. The conflict entered a complex new phase this week with the rupture of a Dnieper River dam that sent floodwaters gushing through a large swath of the front in southern Ukraine. Tens of thousands of civilians already facing the misery of regular shelling fled for higher ground on both sides of the swollen and sprawling waterway. Kyiv has played down talk of a counteroffensive, reasoning that the less said about its military

Chelsea make the most expensive substitution in football history against Brighton

The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling - and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club's cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the Blues went in search of a winner against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. How the Blues were even level by the time the fourth official's board lit up was a mystery given Brighton's dominance on the ball and in both boxes. Roberto De Zerbi's side continued to play the intoxicating fluid football which has steered the Seagulls to seventh place, rattling off 20 sho
