Intercepted!

A goliath grouper surprised a group of fishermen earlier this month when it snatched a shark off their line in one giant bite.

A YouTube video of the catch shows the fishermen reeling in a 4-foot black-tip shark off the coast of Bonita Springs, Florida -- only to have the huge fish rush in and eat it in one fell swoop.

In the end, the fishermen have the perfect reaction: to simply sit back and laugh about the hilarious and amazing way that nature runs its course.

Uploaded Aug. 19, the video has already racked up more than 13.5 million clicks at last count.
