“The swirl had increased in size to maybe the width of three cars. It sent a bit of a shiver down my spine. He just really seemed really really curious in what I was doing,” he continued.

After cutting off his live bait and setting off, Matt was still chased by the shark. “I have about an hour-long paddling to do before I reach dry land and he’s still after me” he exclaimed.
The shark followed wells for several minutes before it eventually disappeared. “I don’t know where he’s gone but I don’t want to be anywhere near him. That was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” he said.
