    A shark caught off an island where one of the Jaws movies was filmed has been found with human body parts in its stomach.

    A man was deep-sea fishing near New Providence Island in the Bahamas when he reeled in a 3.6m tiger shark with a human leg sticking out of its mouth, according to the BBC.

    Police opened up the shark and found a torso, two arms and a right leg.

    Fingerprints on the body matched that of local fisherman Judson Newton, who disappeared during a fishing trip late last month.

    The 43-year-old has not been seen since he and a friend ran into trouble on their boat and decided to swim to shore .

    Mr Newton has been identified by finger prints and police are awaiting DNA results.

    New Providence Island was the location for Jaws: The Revenge*, the third instalment in the horror series.




    *oh and what a piece of crap that one was.

    shark alert after bait hook bent straight


    Swimmers are being urged to avoid open or exposed beaches at southeast Queensland or northern NSW over fears of a monster shark.

    While there have been no sightings — save for a "great big shadow" described by a local Nipper — authorities believe a great white shark measuring up to 6m long has been lurking off Queensland's Stradbroke Island.

    And it may be moving south into NSW with the currents and the migrating whales.

    "If you are going swimming, if this particular creature wants you, and homes in on you and targets you, there is no way you will get out of its way that quick, it's impossible," Gold Coast fishing expert Paul Burt told TODAY.

    "It's a very big fish, a fast fish and quite clearly a ferocious fish."

    Routine equipment checks off Stradbroke Island's Main Beach found that a shark hook had been bent with such force that it was almost straight.

    The hook — 13mm thick, 36cm in length and 16.5cm across the gape — is part of a baited drumline system used to catch large sharks near popular swimming beaches.

    Primary Industries and Fisheries Minister Tim Mulherin said the hook must have snagged a shark so massive that it had the power to reshape the hook and break free.

    This comes a year after a three metre-plus white pointer, killed on a drum line off Stradbroke Island, was found with huge bite marks believed to belong to another white pointer of at least five metres long.

    Mr Burt said it is common to find great whites further out to sea off southeast Queensland at this time of year as the predators follow pods of whales — and especially their young — migrating south.

    "In this particular incident where it was so close, within 250m close off the beach, that is definitely scary," Mr Burt said. He said the shark can move fast and could now be as far south as Ballina on the NSW north coast.

    "We've got strong currents due to Saturday night's full moon — he will be taking advantage of that," he said.

    "There's a lot of bait fish around at the moment and the whales are in close — so it's perfect time for this particular fish to be hanging around."

    Swimmers are being warned to take precautions and swim in only patrolled beaches between the flags.

    One bite is all it takes
