If you approach the news channel that aired the story, they may be willing to give you a copy of their footage.

Mate went out with burky to film the sharks that day and get a chunk of whale for seaworld to test on to find out how it died when paul jumped in for a swim he had yellow fins on and the sharks were very attracted to them only when he removed them they stopped approaching so much, must have thought he was a giant yakka, the sharks were mainly tigers to 5 meters with the bigger ones hanging deep but a couple of whalers showed up breifly, they tried to find the whale the following day but it disappeared must have been eaten.

The whale was spotted first by a north straddie local who told paul and after speaking with some crabbers the next day they saw it a bit further south and gave him a mark after doing a few drift calculations they located it 7 kilometers south of its previous spot the day before.

Cheers samson

I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of that as well, I only just caught the tail end of the channel 7 report and it only showed a white and a tiger.

I had a phone call from John Gooding on Outlaw Charters Sunday morning.
He told me about the whale and number of sharks feeding on it.
I rang Channel Ten News to see if they wanted footage of it but their chopper was out of action.
They did a deal with Channel 7 to share the footage who then sent a chopper out, but it had mechanical problems as well and could only shoot a few min of footage before heading to Nth Stradbroke for an emergency landing.
It turned out the smoke and noise in the chopper was an airconditioning belt - not as bad as they first thought but it grounded the chopper.

On several occasions the sharks nudged John's boat because it was carrying a whale oil slick from being near the carcass.
John does have photos - I'll try and show them soon.
There has been quite a few other shark issues over the past few weeks - I plan to show a few this Friday night just before 6pm during my fishing report on the Channel Ten news.
Always seems to be of interest.

i was there with john on sunday it was a spectacle i will never forget.after watching 15ft tigers swimming around the boat i headed 2klm's away for a fish around a fad.outlaw joined us 15 mins later and after a few drifts john called to say a great white was harrasing his 150 honda's.after saying i'll come and have a look,he said don't worry i'll bring him to you he wont stop following me.john slowly drove 100m towards me and went past about 3mtrs away.this massive white just cruised past swimming in his prop wash the whole time.i think he thought outlaw was a wahle because the ocean around the carcuss was just 1 big oil slick which would have been all over his boat.awsome day

[3rd degree]

Chatting with John, he reckons it gave Outlaw a 'love bite!'

What a sight to see!
