A fight between a man and a 13-foot long crocodile in the water is doing rounds on social media.

Social media is a treasure for weird content, especially videos. While some may delight you, many will give goosebumps for sure. One such video of a man fighting for a fish with a crocodile has gone viral.

Instagram user 'nuffblokescotty' posted this video with the caption, "Catching a meter Barra is hard enough without having to fight a croc as well." In the video, Scott Roscarel is fishing with a few other people in Cahills Crossing, Northern Territory. As the camera pans toward the left, one can notice a crocodile swimming. Moments later, it shows the crocodile moving towards the same fish that Scott was trying to catch.

However, Scott successfully catches a big metre Barra fish with his fishing rod. On the other hand, the crocodile desperately chases the big barramundi and lands on the concrete. People around are heard screaming and guiding Scott to pull the fish closer to him. While he managed to do so, the crocodile followed behind him.

A woman tells him to allow the crocodile to have the fish and get away from it. However, he drags the heavy fish out of the water, and the crocodile gives up. The people gathered there, unable to believe that they had fooled a crocodile and caught the fish.
