A fisherman off the Gulf Coast of Florida thought he was going to bring in a black-tipped shark to show off after a long day of deep sea fishing -- until a goliath grouper snuck in and snagged his catch.
In a video, which has since gone viral and amassed 19 million views, the fisherman is seen on his boat, catching the 4-foot-shark on his reel and preparing to haul him in. But before the catch can be secured, a mammoth fish, thought to be a goliath grouper, leaps out of the water, grabs the shark in its massive jaws, and returns to the watery depths below.
Goliath groupers are giant fish that can grow up to almost 10 feet long and weigh over 800 pounds, according to National Geographic.
The unlucky fisherman didn't seem to bummed by the loss, but this just goes to show that there's always bigger fish.
