A few local fisherman on a charter boat got quite a surprise when they spotted a Great White Shark in the waters off the Jacksonville coast.
Capt. Chad Starling of Team Buck Rogers Offshore Fishing Charters recorded footage of the shark in pursuit of an afternoon lunch during a charter Saturday.
In a Facebook post by Jacksonville Fishing Charters, they said, "It was quite an eventful day."
On top of catching "more red snapper than we could count," Team Buck Rogers was able to capture incredible footage of the Great White up close and personal.
"Incredible day," they wrote on Facebook. "It stands true; you never know what you will see when (you're) on the sea!"
