A fisherman captured the terrifying moment when a huge white shark flew his kayak off the north-central coast of New South Wales.

Matthew Smith’s confrontation with the four-meter-high monster nearly 1.5 kilometers off Blackhead Beach, north of Tuncori, erupted last Saturday.

Mr. Smith was fishing on a kayak when the shark approached, leaving it frozen in fear.

‘Holy ** t! No! Not f ** k off! Shouted in clips from the meeting

Smith said, “ I looked next to me and the shark was slipping past, looking straight at me 9 news.

This moment was captured from above by Sir Smith’s companion Nick O’Brien, who was shooting from a drone in the sky.

Mr. O’Brien could see the shark approaching, but he had no way of alerting his friend of the upcoming danger.

It was a shock. I was kind of starting to worry and think, “Hope this goes well,” he said.

The shark flew around Mr. Smith, before swimming toward the anchor attached to the tail of the kayak, causing him to throw it into the sea.

‘you can have it!’ He said in the footage.

Once the anchor disappeared, the shark swam away, and Mr. Smith’s brother rushed after hearing the commotion.

Mr. Smith said the encounter inspired him to leave behind the kayak for a larger ship for his next few fishing adventures.

“The tin might get wet in the next two weeks and the boat might remain in the shed,” he said.

Seven Australians have been killed in shark attacks this year.

The death toll rose when father-of-two Andrew Sharp was killed by a shark while surfing at Kelp Beds in Wylie Bay, near Esperance on the south coast of Washington state, on October 9.

Experts believe a weather event in La Niña is leading to cooler water temperatures favored by great white sharks, which have killed many victims this year and pushed them closer to shore.
