This is the incredible moment a mako shark was caught on camera doing a back flip.

Jack Hatwell was on a fishing trip off the coast of Adelaide when a member of his party suddenly hooked the monster fish.

As they were trying to reel it in, it leapt out of the water, turned 360 degrees and then plunged back into the ocean.

"Finally, after another 15 minutes of reeling we ended up getting the shark on board the boat," Hatwell said.

On a recent fishing trip we set out to catch a shark as this would be my first time in doing so, I was so excited but after several hours we decided to give up and try for other fish, then out of the blue the Mako Shark came out of nowhere and approached our boat, probably sensing the bait we had put out for other fish, we then had to quickly set up our rods again for shark fishing in order to try and catch it. Within a few minutes of hooking the shark it swam with line attached and jumped out of the water doing the back flip metres from our boat. Finally after another 15 minutes of reeling we ended up getting the shark on board the boat.
