Stunning drone footage shows a huge shoal of fish scatter when sharks attacks.

The clip, which was filmed on Friday (October 11) off the coast of St Petersburg, Florida, shows the massive group of crevalle jacks repeatedly disperse as several sharks attack.

"The sharks made a few passes through the school of jacks before they gave up and moved on," said the filmer.

"Jacks are among the fastest fish in the ocean and are very impressive predators," he added.

While I was out in a boat, I saw a large school of fish, the fish were Jack Crevalles. I launched a drone thinking I might get a good video of the Jacks attacking a school of small fish. When I got the drone in the air I realized that the Jacks were being stalked by a few sharks. I had the camera at the perfect angle and height to capture the moment this shark rushed into a school of fish. The sharks made a few passes through the school of Jacks before they gave up and moved on. Jacks are among the fastest fish in the ocean and are very impressive predators.
