Video captures the heart-stopping moment an angler loses her fish to 'big-ass shark' that appeared from nowhere and snatched it from her line



It was supposed to be a father's video of his daughter landing a red drum while fishing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.



Instead, he captured the heart-stopping moment a 'big-ass shark' rose from the deep and jumped out of the water, snatching the fish just as young Sarah Brame was about to land it.

The cameraman reacts with a string of shocked expletives.

Hooked: Sarah Brame had just hooked a red drum and was reeling it in near her family's home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Landed: The fish was near the surface of the water when a friend reached out a net to grab it

Miss Brame can only muster one word.



'It's a shark! a shark! it's a shark! It's a big-ass shark!' she screeches.

She stands looking at the water, her mouth agape before continuing to reel in her line with the futile hope that her fish -- and maybe the shark -- is still on the end.



The man behind the camera quickly recovesr from the shock with the consolation that the entire startling incident has been recorded on video.



'I got that on camera! I got that on camera! Wooo!' he shouts.



Attack: The shark rises out of nowhere, grabs the fish, and is gone back to the depths in an instant

Hit-and-run: The monster appears to be a bull shark, a species known for its aggressive nature and its affinity for leaving the ocean and swimming into inlets and rivers

Speechless: The angler, Sarah Brame, stands on the dock, mouth agape. The only word she can muster is 'shark'

The video has become wildly popular since Miss Brame posted it to YouTube on Tuesday. More than 5,800 people have 'liked' the video and more than 1,200 have commented.



Miss Brame wasn't even fishing in the ocean when the shark nabbed her catch. She is standing on a dock along what appears to be a marshy inlet.



The beast in question appears to be a bull shark -- known for its ability to leave the ocean and swim far upstream into brackish and even fresh water. Bull sharks have been spotted in the Ohio River in Indiana.



The aggressive monsters and grow up to 13 feet and weigh more than 1,200 pounds.
