YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A lucky tourist on a fishing excursion off the Florida coast scored the catch of a lifetime — and endless bragging rights — after hooking a great white shark.

Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures, a charter fishing company in Volusia County, posted a video showing the moment a customer from Nova Scotia, Canada, snared the great white shark 20 miles off the coast of Ponce Inlet Thursday.

In the footage, a man is heard chuckling and excitedly whooping while the 10-to-12-foot apex predator — likely a juvenile — is seen on the hook a few feet below the ocean surface.

“One of our customers got the fortunate opportunity to catch the fish of a lifetime,” Captain Scott Housel told ClickOrlando.

Housel had taken tourists out to an artificial reef to fish for grouper and triggerfish when they spotted the shark circling the 31-foot boat.

Housel said the visitors weren’t trying to hook the shark, but after some time the massive fish took the bait — and dragged the boat for two miles.

After about 30 minutes, the boat crew let the shark go and it swam away.
