Ms Andrassy shouts ‘I have a huge tuna’ after both her rods get caught on a fish before she realises the cost of her rare catch, saying ‘I’m going to get sharked’.

She pulls out the large fish, which can range up to 30 pounds, and says ‘Oh my god’ in amazement.

Soon enough the sharks make their way over and she says ‘look at the sharks at the back’, putting the camera underwater to show the two lurking at the surface next to her boat. 

The sharks swim around the front of her kayak and follow her back to shallow waters as the blood of the tuna covers her clothes and she screams.

Her impressive catch was made in July last year but the footage has only recently surfaced.

Bri said: ‘While kayak fishing offshore, I hooked up on the elusive South Florida blackfin tuna, which took me on a wild ride. 

‘I was quickly joined by the not-so-elusive South Florida sharks which battled me for my catch. I may have lost a rod, but I got dinner. 

‘I am wearing a life jacket, it is a belt pack. Craziest day on the water for me, but that tuna was worth it.’
