Interesting! What family of shark was it?
If anyone sees the clip on tv again, try to get take a picture of the TV. I'd love to see.
I think I have a new species of shark too. Check out my site under catsharks at the bottom of the page. I was speaking to a PHD that did taxonomic work with the genus and got an inconclusive answer. http://www.benthicsharks.ca/catsharks/
I think you guys are talking about the Glyphis shark he caught in australia. Similar to the bullshark and endangered, its almost impossible for noobies to tell the difference between bull and glyphis. Season 4 episode 8 of the river monsters series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMnRQY7u4tw&feature=player_embedded
at the end of the show he caught a wing head shark((Eusphyra blochii). from what I understand its never been photographed alive before. Its related to the hammer head family but has its own genus. I kind of reminds me of bonnet with a giant cephalofoil.
