The shark can be seen swimming around the burley bait the fishermen had put in the water to attract snapper.
‘He’s coming for the burley bag… he’ll smash that mate,’ one of the fishermen can be heard saying in the footage.
The men notice the shark is the same size as their boat.
‘You can see how long he is when he comes to the edge of the boat,’ one of the men say.
But the close encounter hasn’t deterred the keen anglers.
They were back out fishing in the same spot on Saturday.
