A man in the US claims to have captured footage of a fisherman jumping into the water and picking up a small shark that was squirming on the end of a hook.
The video allegedly shot at Jupiter Inlet, Florida shows the man dubbed the 'Shark Whisperer' working his way to the hook end of a fishing line before plucking the predator from the water.
"I can't believe it. It might be a black tip shark. I don't know what it is," the man filming says.
"This dude's crazy to me" he adds as another onlooker yells "shark whisperer!"
The video was posted online by YouTube user Greg Pace on Monday who said: "This guy couldn't land the shark on the rocks so he jumped into the water to grab the shark and then take it up to the beach."
The authenticity of the video cannot be verified and the shark appears lifeless as it is lifted out of the water.
However, the fish appears to be swimming in shallow water only moments before.
