An Australian fisherman has described how a 200kg (440lb) great white shark leapt into his boat, knocking him over and lacerating his arm. ~


He said the 2.7m (8.8ft) shark landed in the boat, which measured about 5m, and grazed him with its pectoral fin.

~
Bill Bates, a member of Marine Rescue Evans Head, said his crew found Mr Selwood standing on the side of the boat covered in blood. Link.

Probably being chased by an even bigger predator...
 
The fish was auditioning for Sharknado Part XXII

I did see the three 17feet Great Whites that were killed in South Africa by Orca and I have seen film of sharks beaching themselves to get away from Orca so it's possible but I haven't read about Orca as part of the events yet. Story is fresh today so more details will come out.
 
Pretty freaky. Fortunately for him it was only 2.7m. The biggest one ever caught here was estimated around 7 metres long.
