This is the moment a huge great white shark attacks a fishermen's boat.

The footage, captured off the coast of IIluka in Australia, shows the shark circling the boat in an attempt to grab the fishermen's bait.

The monster fish then crashes into the outboard and later swims away.

Writes the filmer: ''In 30 years of fishing in the area this was our first sighting of the beautiful beast.

''This was around midday after and little play with the bullsharks they disappeared and the little white pointer (great white) moved in we heard that they were around the area.

''It was around the boat for a good half hour when it grabbed the outboard on the boat and that was the last time we saw it.''

We were out fishing off Shark bay at Iluka NSW when some Bullsharks moved in.
