Fisherman fight off Croc for prize shark catch

FIVE fishermen have fought off a hungry crocodile to defend a prized shark caught on a Northern Territory beach.

A video of the daring battle was posted on YouTube last month by the Cape Don Barramundi Fishing Lodge.

It shows one angler snagging the shark from a boat while one of his mate comments: "Here we go. Another shark is attacking him".

He wrestles with the shark for several minutes before the boat is brought ashore, the Northern Territory News reports.

As the fisho reels the shark on to the beach, the group's guide catches it with a gaff and drags it on to the sand.

But the boys soon found they had competition for their prize catch.

A three-metre croc silently swam up to the shore and launched itself towards the captured shark.

Before the croc managed to make a meal out of the shark, the group's guide stepped forward and whacked him on the head.

Defeated, the croc returned to the water, while the victorious fishermen cautiously posed for a photo.
