    Monster croc captured in NQ

    Use to swim at the halifax bridge!

    'A giant saltwater crocodile has been captured in north Queensland this afternoon.
    The 4.5 metre saltie has been terrorising fisherman on the Herbert River at Halifax, about an hour north of Townsville.
    It is the biggest croc caught in Queensland this year.
    More than a dozen rangers had to work together for half a day to wrangle the beast out of the water, as it weighs between 300 and 400 kilograms.
    Senior ranger Mike Reynolds says the animal is an awesome sight up close.
    "You know when you sit there and look at him you'll go 'wow'," he said.
    "He's a metre wide, he's got a huge tail.
    "He's got so much power it's unbelievable."
    The monster crocodile has been wandering the waters of the Herbert River for months, venturing into a popular fishing sport earlier this week.
    Indigenous ranger Bruce Reese says the croc has been harassing people so successfully he has earned a nickname.
    "We've called him Bully because he's been bossing people around at boat ramps and stuff , so we thought we'd call him that," he said.
    Bully is being moved to a new home in Townsville.'

    That's a big rig! Imgaine diving in, coming up for air, and she's staring back at you! Great that no one met her teeth.
