A fisherman captures the horrible moment A monster great white shark circled its kayak on the NSW Mid-North Coast.
Matthew Smith was confronted last Saturday by a four-meter-long animal about a mile and a half from Blackhead Beach, north of Tankuri.
Mr. Smith was fishing for a kayak snapper when a shark approached him and left him frozen in fear.
Holy! ** T! No! No f ** k off! He shouted at the footage of the encounter.

Mr Smith said, ‘I was just by my side and the shark was just gliding past, looking straight at me,’ Mr Smith said 9 News
The moment was captured from above by Mr. Smith’s companions Nick and Brian, who were shooting from a drone overhead.
Mr. O’Brien saw the shark approaching, but there was no way to warn his friend of the impending danger.
‘It was a bit of a shock. I was just worried and thinking, oh, “I hope it’s okay,” he said.
The shark circled Mr. Smith, forcing him to swim towards the anchor attached to his kayak’s tail before throwing it overboard.
‘You can get it!’ He said in the footage.

Once the Anger Shark disappeared, Mr. Smith’s brother ran away hearing the noise.
Mr Smith said the fight inspired him to leave the kayak behind on a large ship on his next few fishing trips.
‘This can get wet in the tin for the next few weeks and stay in the kayak shed,’ he said.
