Matt Pieciak was enjoying a day at Nauset Beach with his family last week when he and his uncle decided to throw some fishing lines in the water and leave the rods propped up in the sand, the Cape Cod Times reports.
Pieciak’s cousin, Maggie Ciarcia, told the news organization Storyful, “My uncle and cousin decided to put a couple of fishing rods in the water and left them in the sand while we were playing corn hole. All of a sudden one started rattling and we thought he got a fish so I started filming.”

While it appears in the video footage that he caught a great white shark, Pieciak told reporters that he believes he actually caught a smaller fish. As he was reeling that animal in, he thinks the shark tried to grab the fish and then got stuck on the line.
