Not all incidents with sharks are unprovoked. In this instance, a Florida fisherman was capsized in his kayak while trying to lure in one.

A video posted on YouTube shows Ben Chancey fishing in a kayak when he snagged the shark, which did not give in without a fight.

In the video, which was posted Wednesday, the shark thrashes so violently, it knocks Chancey into the water.

The fisherman is seen swimming for his life and jumps onto a nearby boat. Then he gets the kayak upright, jumps back into it and reels in the shark.

No word on what kind of shark he caught, or its size.
