On Saturday, a man named Doug Nelson and his son joined a father-son fishing expedition near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It took an unexpected turn.

At one point, Nelson took out his phone to record a member of the group catching what he believed to be a “good-sized fish,” told CNN.

But it this was no ordinary fish — it was actually a great white shark.

At the time of the encounter, there was actually a fish on the boy’s rod. The shark bit it clean off.

The shark leaped out of the water, shocking the group. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy confirmed that it was indeed a great white, according to CNN.

Cue the “Jaws” theme music.

Watch the full video, captured by Nelson and shared on Twitter by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy below.
