When you're fishing for sharks, you might want to consider using a more sturdy boat than an inflatable boat, especially when there are Great Whites around.
Unfortunately for a group of anglers off the coast of South Africa, they were doing just that, and it got a little scary.
While fishing off Strandfontein for smooth hound sharks, a Great White attacked the group who were fishing in an inflatable boat. The shark was an estimated 22 feet long.
A member of the crew had just pulled in a smooth hound when the Great White came up and latched onto the boat, thrashing its head for more than a minute. Luckily no one was injured in the attack. –Brian McClintock
