It was a Hayes Inlet shark I reckon!
Fished the mouth of the Brissy river this arvo up till sunset with a bit of success. Fished just past the dredging pontoon in a deep hole of about 4m. In the boat we had a nice cod, some flathead and a shovel nose, all returned to fight another day.
As i go to fix the missuses line, my rod starts screaming and as i am looking down fixing a rod, the fish starts jumping out of the water. Grab the rod, tighten the drag slightly, fight for about 1 minute and then bite off!! ***k!!!
Has anyone had a similar experience? Any ideas on what the fish might have been? It had a bit of weight to it, nearly took the rod out of my hand.
Look forward to any suggestion?

Well thanks for the great suggestions there boys. I think i will take the Brisbane River Marlin as what i think it was

The most common thing i see jumping in the Brisbane River are sting rays.
