IT was a meeting between wild predators, but the shark had the home court advantage.
Perth Wildcats players had a close call during a fishing trip off Rottnest today when a shark circled their boat for about 15 minutes.
The championship basketballers had a tale to tell after their trip, with captain Damian Martin describing seeing the beast, which was wider than the back of their boat, up close as a "surreal and amazing experience".
The encounter was captured on video and posted on social media.
"It came right up to the boat and tried grabbing one of the fish that was on the lines," Martin told Ten News.

"Incredible experience, Jesse (teammate Jesse Wagstaff) has no boat legs, so he's holding onto the boat with one hand, trying to capture it on video with the other.
"It came in twice, it came from the side to try to get the fish and then the second time we thought it had gone and it came from what seemed like under the boat so it surprised us all.
"It was amazing, I've never seen Jesse shake so much in my life, so it was a good experience."
