Crazy Close Encounter with Curious Great White

Occurred on September 29, 2019 / Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Info from Licensor: "At 8am my mate Ryan and I were on my boat's maiden voyage and anchored in 5m of water only 1.5km off Pinnaroo Point, Western Australia to fish a reef.

We noticed fish nearby when the massive unmistakable white/black tipped pectoral fin breached the surface. Soon we were face to face with a Great White Shark bigger than my 4.1m boat. We sat and watched whilst it circled us. Finally, it came head on to the back of the boat where the burley bucket/engine was making us very uncomfortable. We realized it was a bad idea being with a shark bigger than my boat so we up-anchored and left. The best part of the experience was my wife said I could buy a bigger boat haha!"
