Largest of five bronze whalers estimated to be between 1.5-2.5 m TL filmed from the back of the Orokawa in failing light. The female in these images was the largest of the five and has a hook in the left corner of her jaw and hook damage to the right corner of her jaw. I initially thought the pale marks on her pectoral fins were mating scars, however after reviewing the video they, the abrasions on other parts of her body and fins, and the bent pelvic fin are more consistent with being caught and released.
She was the only one showing marks like these.
Water depth was 7m. These sharks showed up very shortly after we started stray lining for snapper (no berley).
The people swimming off the launch beside us the next morning either weren't bothered by them or didn't know they were there.
