Yes, we know there are sharks in the ocean. Big ones. Really big ones!

You’ve got a decent chance of seeing one when you’re fishing on an Outer Banks charter boat, and getting video is an added bonus. But one that’s “Jaws” proportions is not something you spot every day.

That’s exactly what Capt. Aaron Kelly of Rock Solid Fishing did Wednesday with a party fishing out of Oregon Inlet Fishing Center on his 35-foot center console.

Kelly posted video of the encounter on his Instagram and Facebook pages after they got back to the dock.

Capt. Aaron, you’re gonna need a bigger boat!
