A group of anglers spent the day out on the ocean, looking to make a monster catch. They definitely made one, but what they weren't counting on was a hungry predator in the water, looking for a meal.

The pictures are impressive and the video is almost unbelievable.

"This 500-pound shark was all the way in the air with a 60-pound sailfish in his mouth, like a dog with a bone," explained Capt. Bouncer Smith of Bouncer's Dusky 33.

Smith has been in business for 50 years, taking tourists out fishing. He said he's never seen anything like what happened Thursday.

2. WOW!

3. Similar thing happened to me

Was pulling in a king mackerel when the line went slack. When I pulled it in only the first third of the fish remained, the rest was cleanly bitten off.

Not as spectacular, but just as memorable.

4. I saw that when I was a kid on a sport fishing trip

Lloyd Bridges be damned, my career as a SCUBA diver ended right there, looking at half a king mackerel with its guts trailing out of the wound.
