There is something to be said about a day on the open water spent fishing with friends. For some, it’s a relaxing and exciting past time but for these anglers, there was more excitement and angst than usual.

In a small charter fishing boat around Cape Cod Bay off the Atlantic Ocean, Capt. Hap Farrell was on his second trip of the day when two men were both effortlessly reeling in their striped bass catch of the day when a much larger fish had other plans.

Check out the action these men witnessed firsthand, on this video.
