A fisherman has filmed himself using a dead shark as a bong.

The shocking video shows the man on a fishing boat holding the shark which has two tubes protruding from its head and rear.

The man then lights the makeshift bong and breathes in through the mouthpiece on the shark's tail.

The shark appears to have been hollowed out to allow smoke to flow through.

After his breath, the man leans back, nods and exhales with a puff of smoke.

The children's song Babyshark can be heard playing in the background of the video.

The disturbing video was shared on the Facebook page Fried Fishing Australia which has 21,000 followers.

Hundreds of people commented on the video. One commenter asked if the man's parents were related while another said 'you're off your head.'

Fried Fishing said in a statement: 'Let's clear some air up on this. The shark was caught by my mate fishing when we were fishing for mangrove jacks on Friday.

'After two nights left in the ice box i came up with the idea. There is no possible way it was alive.

'It was tobacco I'd happily take a drug test to prove.'
