Incredible moment a great white shark steals a young fisherman’s striper catch

It’s fair game out in the wild waters and one angler off the Massachusetts coast had to learn that the hard way when a great white shark snatched up his fish. 

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy posted a video on Monday showing the shocking moment the great beast goes for the steal off the coast of Cape Cod’s Monomoy Island.

The video’s caption explains: ‘Great video of a white shark breaching as it goes after a striper at the end of a line off Stone Horse Shoals!’  

Video filmed on Sunday shows the moment a young fisherman struggles to reel in a striper only to have it snapped by a white great shark

In the brief clip that has been viewed more than 43,000 times, the young fisherman tries his hardest to reel in his line. 

A bystander comments ‘It’s a big one’ and the angler shares that he is struggling.

And as the striper looks as if it will soon give up, an older fisherman makes his way to help collect it.

But just as he does so, the huge shark snaps out of the water and takes its prize. 

‘Holy s**t,’ the man shouts as the shark disappears into the depths of the water. 

The video was originally filmed Tabatha Eldridge on Sunday.
