Victorian angler shoos off great white with broom

We're gonna need a bigger broom.

A Victorian fisherman has used a humble broom to sweep away a massive great white shark threatening to chomp down on his motor off the coast of Port Fairy.

In a video posted on Facebook by Salty Dog Fishing Charters yesterday, the huge great white is seen swimming up to the boat before sinking its teeth in to the motor.

When the subsequent video shows the leviathan making another turn, the cameraman has armed himself with a push broom.

"Get away," the cameraman says as he nervously pushes (or sweeps) the shark from his boat.

"Bloody thing was not shy," the video is captioned.

The video was posted yesterday and has already been viewed nearly 6000 times.
