WATCH: Shark attacks fisherman in kayak
This might seem like a scene out of 'Jaws' but it's 100% real.
A shark attack is something some of us have only witnessed in movies or dreamt about in our nightmares.

There have been many tragic, brave, and unbelievable stories of people surviving an attack by one of these sea creatures and there definitely isn't a likelihood of the incident being captured on film.
One local Hawaiian fisherman recently encountered a vicious tiger shark and was able to film the whole thing as it happened.
Scott Haraguchi was in his kayak off the coast of Hawaii when the tiger shark attacked his boat. Luckily, his reflexes were quick enough that he escaped the situation completely unscathed.

Haragutchi uploaded the video to YouTube, where it has since been viewed over 1.4-million times - and the footage is truly incredible.

Scott shared more of the story in the description for the video:
Heard a "whooshing" sound, looked up and saw a wide brown thing on the side of the kayak. Thought it was a turtle at first. Happened so fast. Didn't realize I took my left foot out of the water to brace myself from impact and actually pushed the shark's head off with it. If you asked me to do that again, even without the shark, I don't think I'd have that flexiblity. I actually only thought the shark rammed the kayak until I saw the video at home.
Scott also told KITV4 that he suspects that the shark might have mistaken his kayak for prey as he later spotted a wounded seal in the water.
Either way, this is certainly a situation you do not want to get caught up in.
