A fisherman’s joy at hooking the big one quickly turned to terror as a monster crocodile burst out of the water to snatch his catch.
Luke Robertson was at Cahills Crossing in the Northern Territory – a notorious crocodile-infested waterway – when he decided to go for a fish.
‘I went to my ute and grabbed out my rod and line and stood up on the rocks,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.

A crocodile then burst out of the water and lunged towards Mr Robertson’s catch
The spot is popular with tourists who want to catch a glimpse of a crocodile, and Mr Robertson said there were about 50 people gathered there on September 12.
‘There were about 10 to 15 crocodiles sitting there in the water.’
After hooking a fish, Mr Robertson ran down from the rocks to get closer to the water’s edge to inspect his prize.
As he was pulling in his catch, a crocodile stalked the fish before suddenly lunging towards the fish, snatching it from Mr Robertson’s line.
‘The croc came up and just took off with it,’ Mr Robertson said.

He has travelled across Australia and has had sharks steal fish from his line before, but Mr Robertson said it was the first time a crocodile had taken his lunch.
‘At the end of it all the knees were a bit shaky and the heart rate was definitely up a bit.’
Footage of the stolen catch shows spectators gasping as the crocodile approaches Mr Robertson.
