Massive Great White Shark Tries To Take On Fishing Boat

A drone has caught the horrifying moment a great white shark has a run-in with a small fishing boat.

The 15-foot shark was filmed attacking the crab boat, before circling under the water and then going in for another go.

The fisherman on the boat can be seen frantically running over, trying to chase the shark away - brave man, I think I'd be crying and praying at this point.

The footage was filmed near Port Lincoln in South Australia, which is a popular spot for sharks and tourists who want to see them (for some reason).

The sharks in Australia really don't fuck about, but they're usually no match for the Aussie fellas who encounter them.

In a similar unflappable-style to our man in the clip above, Aussie Nicholas Wilks and his dad David came face-to-face with a great white shark, and sent it on its way.

Nic and his dad were out having a lovely time fishing in South Australia, when a massive great white decided it wanted to meet the guys.

It started by tearing fish out of the net - naughty - but eventually got itself caught up in the net. Quick-thinking and ballsy David managed to untangle the shark and set it free, but was it grateful? Was it fuck.

Nic told Buzzfeed: "Apparently the shark hadn't had enough so he came back, and when he was right by the boat, Dad tried to ward him off with a swift punch to the nose."

Yeah, you read that right - David punched a shark on the nose, and if that isn't enough for you, he then told it to 'fuck off'. However, this shark can not take a hint and it did not fuck off.

Nic continued: "The shark didn't like that very much and went berserk, and that's when he grabbed onto the net."

From this point, man and shark got involved in a tug-of-war. Just let that sink in, a tug-of-war between a man and a shark - you wouldn't get Michael Phelps doing that, would you?
