About this image

DescriptionA white pointer shark 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in) long', caught off Hokitika in groper lines by two Greymouth fishermen. Bob Fishburn (left) and Noel Saxon, on Saturday. One of the biggest caught in West Coast waters in recent times, the fish was 1.98 m (6ft 6in) in girth. The white pointer is recognised as one of the more deadly species to man but, apart from it teeth, has little market value.Date of Photo1977Map^[1]ContributorThe Press
