This Aussie was out fishing when he saw a great white shark hovering around his boat.

He stuck the camera in the water and got some awesome footage ... and then almost got a lot more than he bargained for.

Watch:

The shark just tried to take a chomp outta the dude's boat!

A massive great white shark approaches a fisherman's boat off Sunshine Coast, a beach town in Australia known for its resorts and water sports ...

'By far the biggest shark I've seen in my life! Easy 5m great white shark has a little taste test of the Renegade,' said Jayden Grace, along with his friend Joe Cook, according to 10 First News.

Good thing this guy had the GoPro recording. Very well may have the saved bro's life.
