A brave fisherman has gone face-to-face with a massive bull shark after managing to reel it in in front of horrified tourists.
Sydneysider and experienced angler Jordan had paddled out into the middle of the harbour in a kayak to throw an entire frozen mullet into the water to bait the shark before retreating behind the walls of the Royal Botanic Gardens to reel it in.
Onlookers passing by watched on stunned as he slowly reeled the shark close enough to shore to remove the barb from its mouth and release it in front of the Sydney Harbour Opera House.
Despite the relative ease with which Jordan caught it, bull sharks are one of the most aggressive species of shark in the world and are responsible for the highest number of fatal attacks on humans.

Jordan told Daily Mail Australia he'd never fished in the harbour before but decided to give it a shot after seeing others catch sharks of their own.
