It's not every day a tourist fishing trip produces footage straight out of a David Attenborough documentary.
And it's even rarer when a deadly sea creature launches itself out of the air in front of you, but here we are.

Visiting Australia's Sunshine Coast over the weekend, she took that dream and turned it into a scary reality, care of Calypso Star Charters.
What she didn't expect was to capture the moment a shark, in full attack mode, leapt out of the ocean for a meal.

For a great white shark to be able to propel itself skyward, it must reportedly reach speeds of up to 40 kilometres (24.8 miles) per hour and often launches up to 3 metres (3.2 yards) before crashing back down.
Just look at that spectacular display of the sheer great white shark power.

The rarity of footage of this kind of behaviour makes the video a tiny window into the life of the apex predator. Precious memories.
