Fortunately, he doesn\u2019t drop the trevally. <\/p>\n<p>The clip then cuts to the trevally swimming through the water while tethered to the rod, whereupon a second shark tries to make a pass it at. However, this time Watson manages to fight the pilfering predator off by chasing it through the shallows while screaming obscenities. <\/p>\n<p>The steel-nerved seaman uses the same technique to deter a third shark, even throwing an underwater kick at the toothy critter. <\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time this week someone has turned the tables on an apex predator. <\/p>\n<p>A 28-year-old Canadian woman was hailed a hero Tuesday after punching a crocodile that was attacking her twin sister in Mexico\u2019s Manialtepec Lagoon. <\/p>\n<p>She is currently in critical condition due to injuries she sustained during the battle. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"&quot;Fearless&quot; fisherman Cooper Watson said he was lucky he was not bitten himself during the attack, which occurred Sunday while the 21-year-old was fishing off the Cocos Islands. \" class=\"wp-image-18473558 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/stealing-catch.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/stealing-catch.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/stealing-catch.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/stealing-catch.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/stealing-catch.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>\u201cFearless\u201d fisherman Cooper Watson said he was lucky he was not bitten himself during the shark attack, which occurred Sunday while the 21-year-old was fishing off the Cocos Islands. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Dogtooth <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
