DUNSBOROUGH, Australia, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- An Australian fisherman whose catch was stolen by a great white shark captured footage of the predator circling his boat in the search for another morsel.

Ash Roberts said he started filming just after the great white shark stole and ate his catch Thursday off the coast of Dunsborough, Western Australia.

The video shows the shark circling Roberts' boat in an apparent search for a second helping of seafood.

Roberts told the Bunbury Insights Facebook group the shark "got a bit too friendly with the boat" after he stopped filming, so he drove the vessel away in search of more private waters.
