Great white shark makes terrifyingly close pass by fisherman in kayak in shocking video

There are few activities in this world more relaxing than fishing.

I think we all can agree there is something very zen—like in grabbing a line, a pole, and some bait and just being one with nature for a morning.

One man thought he was going to have a nice, peaceful afternoon on the ocean in his kayak until his day of solo fishing was rudely interrupted by someone with some serious personal space issues.

SHARK BITES FISHERMAN TWICE DURING KAYAKING ENCOUNTER ALONG CALIFORNIA BEACH

And this wasn't a fellow fisherman or some drunk guy in his Boston Whaler.

Hell, it wasn't even a human being.

That's right, a massive great white shark buzzed some poor kayaker just trying to enjoy his day off, and the whole thing was caught on the fisherman's helmet camera.

Footage from the fisherman, David Slavich, shows him getting startled as the giant predator closed in.

"The shark came incredibly close, swimming alongside me just beneath the surface," Slavich told Storyful, adding that he was "absolutely amazed" by its size.

"There was a moment when it seemed like we were looking directly at each other, and I had the distinct feeling that it was just as curious about me as I was about it," Slavich said.

"I felt more awe and fascination than fear," he said. "It’s an experience I’ll never forget."

You don't even see the shark coming at first, but you can hear the terrified words trembling out of Slavich's mouth.

"Oh my God! Oh my God," he repeats as the great white makes its way into the frame of the video.

In a split-second decision that might have saved his life - or at the very least, a limb or two - Slavich reels his line in quickly to ensure the shark doesn't take the bait and pull him in with it.

As the monster with teeth glides past, we get a full view of its size, appearing to be about as big as Slavich's kayak.

Once the shark passes by harmlessly, Slavich utters a phrase I think we can all relate to in a situation like that.

"Okay, we're getting the f--- out of here," he exclaims.

Next time Slavich is in the area, he might need a bigger boat... or any boat, for that matter.

Rampaging longhorn causes pileup on local road in Putnam County, leads police on wild chase

I think I speak for everyone when I say that traffic jams are the absolute worst.

There is nothing more infuriating than coming home from work or driving to an event like a game or a concert and seeing nothing but brake lights ahead.

If you're anything like me, after the blinding rage wears off, you often wonder what caused the jam to begin with.

Usually, it's because some idiot missed his exit and decided to merge across six lanes of traffic or a college kid who's home on break was texting and driving before rear-endeding someone, but how about when a longhorn busts loose from the farm and leads the cops on a wild chase across a two-lane road?

What, you've never had that happen to you before?

MISSING 1200-POUND GIRAFFE GRACIE FOUND 2 WEEKS AFTER WANDERING AWAY FROM RANCH IN VIRAL SEARCH

It turns out several of the motorists in Putnam County, New York, were treated to a traffic jam of bovine origins when a four-year-old cow named Maggie caused a pileup when she escaped from the friendly confines of Little Cabin's Farm in nearby Carmel, NY.

The video is absolutely hysterical (mostly because I'm not the one behind the wheel) and features police cars and civilians alike trying (and failing) to wrangle the clearly agitated animal as she darts in between several stopped vehicles.

One of the civilians is even seen brandishing a tree branch to use as a whip to try and corral Maggie back onto the other side of the road.

While traffic is at a dead stop in the one lane, the oncoming lane has cars driving at full speed, and one of them even had to slam on their brakes as Maggie scampered back to the grassy shoulder.

She's lucky some Kia didn't turn her into ground beef!

According to local news affiliate WABC, Maggie was on the loose for four days before finally being brought home, giving drivers all over Putnam County a reason to breathe easier.

What's even crazier is that Maggie is also pregnant, which might explain some of her erratic behavior.

All's well that ends well, though, and it's nice to know she's back on the farm where she belongs.
