Footage has emerged of anglers hooking up a three metre specimens in the Logan River and now more has emerged out of northern NSW.

Boatie Jordan Butler and his mates got a shock during a trip on the Evans River at Iron Gates in Evans Head when they spotted a large shark in the river on Saturday.

The footage shows the animal’s fins clearly visible out of the water.

“Was driving up the river when we saw a bull shark across the river, I pulled out my phone and another mate started driving closer to it, then the shark (disappeared) like nothing,” Mr Butler said.
