Crocodile gets caught in fisherman's cast net during charter tour: 'Unusual'
A lifelong fisherman is urging others to be crocwise after one of the reptiles decided it wanted to join his fishing tour.
David Leigh, owner of Fairdinkum Fishing Charters, admits he “got a little fright” after catching more than he bargained for in a cast net he tossed off his boat in the Bolhe River, just north of Townsville in Far North Queensland, on Friday.
