A 22-year-old Florida fisherman posted a video to YouTube showing part of his adventure with an 11-foot long Hammerhead shark.

Adam Fisk hooked into the shark on Sunday while out on his kayak near Boynton Beach, Florida.

“I threw my bait out and went to reel my other one in so I wouldn’t get tangled, and I just had time to pick up the rod before the other one already got picked up by that hammer,” Fisk wrote on the YouTube site.

“It must have been sitting right under me and I had no idea.”

Fisk estimates that he was dragged by the shark for about 12 miles.
