Matt Wells, 19, was recently fishing alone near Cape Rēinga when he encountered the great white shark, according to The New Zealand Herald . Using his fishing camera, which he also records YouTube videos on, Wells was able to capture the experience on film. “Please don’t attack me, bro!,” he said in the video.

Video shows a terrified kayaker being stalked for several minutes by a great white shark that approached him in waters off the coast of Northland, New Zealand. The kayak fisherman was identified as Matthew John Patrick Wells by a Fox Weather report. Wells was documenting his fishing trip with several cameras set up on his boat.
