Food Chain for Great Whites - Shark Bait for Larger Shark
Chomp: The Kiwi fisherman took the spectacular photo, pictured, on December 28, and posted it on Reddit
The decent-sized shark was hooked in the waters near Kaiteriteri during a post-Christmas expedition on December 28.
It is unclear exactly what happened next, though the fisherman presumably cut his losses and the line, losing his catch.
However, he did escape with the epic image, which immediately shot to Reddit’s front page and has garnered also 1000 comments since.
It’s not uncommon for sharks to prey upon each other, but it’s rarely caught in such a daring fashion.
Now we know what it looks like to be bait for such a beast, it’s probably best not to go swimming too far from the New Zealand coast any time soon.
The larger shark, also a Great White, had obviously decided he’d be the one to gobble the fish up.
