Holy crapola... Oceanic Tiger versus Hammerhead

[Scubaroo]

There's always a bigger fish...

The caption reads:

This 5m hammerhead shark was monstered by a giant oceanic Tiger shark at the southern end of the ribbon reefs north of Cains as anglers watched in awe at the fearsome aggression. Kiwi angler Kydd Pollock is pictured holding the remains of the estimated 350kg plus 5m long hammerhead.

That's all that's left of a 770lb, 16 foot hammerhead after an Oceanic Tiger shark was finished with it...
