A video posted to the Fried Fishing Facebook group shows an unknown fisher man appearing to smoke cannabis from a bong made from a dead shark.

In the background, the children's song 'Baby Shark' can be heard playing in the clip taken near Sydney, Australia.

Public outcry over the video prompted the moderator of the Fried Fishing Facebook page to issue a statement on Monday.

He said: ''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 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 ... I just wanted to say thanks to the bunch of sooks who have complained to the point of police visiting. Honestly I quit.''
