An amazing video has emerged of a teenager catching a huge shark off the coast of South Australia.

In the footage, captured at Tumby Bay earlier this month, young fisherman Jack Jacobs reels in a 10ft bronze whaler shark.

Other beachgoers can be seen standing around and watching as Jacobs pulls off the monster catch.

After measuring the shark, Jacobs and a friend drag it back into the water, leaving it to swim away unharmed.

Describing the catch online, Jacobs wrote: "The shark was over ten feet long and weighed 440lbs plus. The bait was taken out on the back of a kayak and dropped in deep water and it was an epic fight taking almost two hours to reel in. The shark was tagged and released unharmed after measurements and photos were taken."
