A heart-stopping moment was caught on cam and it shows a fearless swimmer snatching a shark from the ocean before holding its jaws wide open just to get a picture with it.

The man could also be seen posing for images as he wrestled with the shark.

The incident reportedly happened in Cape Henlopen State Park Beach, which is located in Delaware, USA.

According to reports, the man wrestled with the shark with his bare hands after it approached him in the water.

He then grabbed the shark, held it for a few seconds before then opening its jaws.

Stunned onlookers said that he put a show at the beach as everyone there was shocked to see the man holding the jaws of the shark.

A woman in the video could also be heard screaming “Wow, that is a big ass shark”.

A video of the incident was shared by Rachael Foster on Facebook, along with the caption:

What a great way to spend Father’s Day!! We all had an amazing time ! Plus this guy caught this shark 3 cars down from us. For anyone commenting how this guy should’ve left the shark alone, or that this isn’t right you really need to educate yourself. He did this by the book and was totally legal with it ! His buddy simply caught a shark he went out opened his mouth to get the hook out, than he went deeper into water turned the shark around and released it! Please please read up on the Delaware laws and the proper way to release a shark that’s been caught.
