A group of men fishing off the coast of Bonita Springs, Florida, United States, were overjoyed with their catch of the day - a Black Tip Shark. So much so, that they decided to first capture the moment on camera, and then reel the shark in.
After many lefts and rights, they eventually got the camera angle correct - and there it was, a four-foot shark going around in circles, struggling to escape.
All seemed well. The fishermen were probably relishing the thought of the big lunch ahead of them when... pop! All thought bubbles burst as just then, from underneath somewhere, the dark shadow of another fish appeared and swallowed their lunch in a single bite.
The rapturous crew were left amazed, so is everyone who watches this video.
Ah, only a four-footer. I automatically thought of a great white, which would obviously require something massive to swallow whole. Jaws has a lot to answer for

There is always a bigger fish. Or someone on the boat cast Summon Bigger Fish to improve their catch.

Grouper are big damn fish. Did you notice the rod bending as it swam away? I have to wonder if they cut the line, or tried to reel in the grouper.

Some people are just that crazy... nothing like having a super-awesome huge fish to take pictures by on the dock.

Yeah, I don't think they were equipped for that.
