Surprise of a lifetime: Great white leaps into fisherman's boat

It's like a scene straight out of the movies -- that's what 73-year-old fisherman Terry Selwood might've thought when a giant great white leaped straight into his boat.

The Marine Rescue organization captured images of fearsome creature, clocking in at an astonishing 7 feet long and 440 pounds. He told the Australia Broadcasting Corporation, "I just caught a blur coming in the corner of me eye ... and this thing hit me in the forearm, spun me round and knocked me off me feet."

Luckily save for losing a bit of skin from his arm, Selwood was able to get to safety, as the fish thrashed around.

When the coast guard arrived, they couldn't believe their eyes. But, for such a shocking encounter, the swarthy fisherman joked he can't wait to get back in the water and that maybe next time ... he'll get to wrestle with a crocodile.
