'This Is a Problem': Shark Has Firm Bite of Fishing Boat Motor

2 年前

A “monster shark” was recorded biting and holding onto a fishing boat’s motor near Coral Bay, Western Australia, on May 11.

Video recorded by Matt Zen from Fever Fishing Australia shows a fishing crew’s startled reaction after realizing that a shark had its jaws clenched onto their boat’s propeller. Zen told Storyful they had hooked the shark for about an hour before the shark ditched the fishing line and went after the boat’s motor.

“After the shock and awe of the situation, concern kicked in,” Zen told Storyful. Eventually, the shark let go and swam off, leaving the motor and propellor intact.

“It reminded us just where we are on the food chain,” Zen added. Credit: Matt Zen from Fever Fishing Australia via Storyful
