A fisherman has told how he caught a shark using his bare bands - while drunk on vodka.
Phillip Kerkhof, 41, managed to wrestle the four-foot bronze whaler onto a jetty in Louth Bay, Australia.
The bricklayer sprung into action after spotting the shark chasing squid in shallow waters - and only suffered a tear in his trousers.
Mr Kerkhof told Australia Broadcasting Corps: "I just snuck up behind him and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him.
"He was just thrashing around in the water ... starting to turn around and try to bite me and I thought 'well, it's amazing what vodka does'."
The area near Louth Bay, around the southern tip of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, is well known for sharks.
Live shark action for the 1975 movie Jaws was filmed nearby.
Mr Kerkhof, who said he had "a fair few vodkas" before he went fishing, said he only realised the danger of his actions the following day.
He said: "It's not something I'd recommend to do. When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, 'I'm a bit of an idiot doing it'."
However, he has already had two meals from the shark and plans to cook the rest for friends.
"It's bloody beautiful mate - restaurant quality," he said.
