A South African fisherman got the scare of a lifetime when a huge great white shark attacked his kayak.<br /><br />Footage captured off the coast of East London on the Eastern Cape shows a startled Bradley Beamish being tracked by what he said was a 13ft (4m) shark while fishing. <br /><br />The shark's fins can be seen surfacing behind Beamish's kayak.<br /><br />"Great white trailing me here. Look at that! BIG great white just behind me. Just attacked my kayak. It's being pretty aggressive!" he says in the video.<br /><br />Beamish goes on to explain that he has seen "quite a few" great white sharks over the years and was taken aback by the unusually aggressive nature of this one.<br /><br />"It seemed like it wanted to hit me," he says in the video.<br /><br />In the video, Beamish also uses underwater file footage (seen here at 1min 11secs) to show another encounter with a previous great white.<br /><br />"Usually they are not aggressive, usually they just come and check you out," he says. <br /><br />He later told Newsflare: "In this video, a few friends and I are fishing on our kayaks near East London, South Africa. <br /><br />"The water was really dirty on the day and as we were paddling back up to our mark a four-metre great white shark hit my kayak from underneath forcing it completely out the water! <br /><br />"The shark disappeared for a bit then came charging my kayak from behind!<br /><br />"After the close call, we decided to call it a day and head back to shore!"
