Australian golfer Greg Norman was nicknamed “The Shark” during his renowned pro career. Nowadays, he’s retired from golfing—and seems to be catching his nickname namesakes, instead!

Norman was out fishing in Palm Beach, Florida, with online saltwater fishing show producer Josh Jorgensen when he snagged a blacktip reef shark, estimated to be around 80 pounds (approx. 36 kg). Before he could reel it in, though, a massive hammerhead shark swam up to their hooked catch. And while the cameras were rolling via a drone, the hammerhead latched on to the blacktip to devour it—and a battle to catch the hammerhead, which was believed to be of record-breaking size, ensued.
