Shark drags fisherman overboard and capsizes his kayak with brute strength
A fisherman was dragged into the sea when a shark capsized his boat using pure brute strength.
Graham Smith was plunged into the water when his kayak overturned battling a porbeagle off the Irish coast.
He had been battling the aquatic predator for 20 minutes in the sea off north west Ireland before ending up in the sea.
The shark had pulled him out into choppy water during the angling battle, prompting Graham to call for help from friends on a nearby boat.
In dramatic footage of the confrontation the shark can be seen keenly pursuing the bait with its teeth bared.
Graham is pictured fighting for control of his fishing rod as the shark drags the line behind him and over his shoulder.
When the angler starts to be towed towards shore, the shark drags the rod into the side of the boat, tilting the kayak past the point of no return.
“I go fishing for shark a couple of times a year off Donegal in Ireland,” the 43-year-old said.
“On that particular day, it was calm inside the headland but once you got outside it was rough.
“The porbeagle is a very clever shark. They’re notoriously difficult. About 15 to 20 minutes I’d been fighting him.”
