Video: Shark Surprises Kayak Fisherman, Gets Hooked

Jason Downs was fishing recently off Navarre Beach in Florida when he had a close encounter with a belligerent bull shark. Not content to just pass by, the shark stole his dinner as well. According to GrindTV, Downs had hooked a 12-pound grouper when the shark decided it was its dinner instead, and took a meaty bite out of the angler’s catch.

That was not the end of the story however. Although not shown on the video, Downs says he ended up hooking the shark as well. It dragged him for about 15 minutes before he cut it loose.
