WATCH: A fisherman reels in a great white shark off the shore of Nantucket, giving stunned beachgoers a rare front-row view of one of the ocean's most feared predators.
This footage captures just a glimpse of the roughly 40-minute battle as crowds gathered along the shoreline to see what was on the line.
Witnesses said people were amazed by the shark's size, which the fisherman later measured to be more than 8.5 feet long and around 300 pounds before he released it back into the Atlantic.
