The men’s annual fishing trip took a frightening turn in Coral Bay when the three-metre predator attempted to swallow their boat’s propeller.
It had been fighting on a line for an hour before it took a bite of the motor.
“He is a monster,” one man can be heard saying as they filmed, in awe of the shark.
“He has chomped the motor.
Captain Matt Zen said never in his “wildest dreams” did he expect a giant shark to take a bite of his boat.
“He took a liking to the engine and he hung on there for a good few minutes,” Zen said.
“We started to get a bit worried about how we were going to get him off.”
Another Fever Fishing charter man, Jarryd England, said the beast’s jaw “inhaled the entire propeller”.
“And that’s a big engine,” he said.
The biggest sharks the world has seen, caught, tagged and studied
