Croc comes the raw prawn with fisherman

Amateur angler Jamie Finger was fishing from the old Mowbray River Bridge near Port Douglas when he snagged the saltwater croc.

Using 12.5kg breaking strain line and a prawn bought from a supermarket, Mr Finger was fishing alone about noon when the saltie struck.

"I took a few photos and a video because I thought no one would believe I had caught a croc.''
