Matt Robins believes a monster shark is swimming off Newquay, Cornwall after the attack on Sunday.
Mr Robins, who runs a charter boat company, was with pal Rich Stapleton and two customers when the mystery animal pounced.
He said: "A blue shark took the bait 50ft underneath the boat.
"Our customer was reeling it in quite happily when something big came in and attacked the blue shark we had on the line.
"It picked the shark up and carried it away spooling a couple hundred yards of line off the reel before dropping it.
"The blue shark then came to the surface with these savage bite marks.
"This wasn't multiple bites it was one powerful bite straight through the top of the head and side of the throat.
