“Check out this monster … holy smackers,” Yvonne Palmer can be heard saying in the video.

“I just caught a shark, which I couldn’t get back into the water because this fella was coming, and now he’s going to come in and eat it and I am going to sh*t myself.

“Oh my lord, he’s like one, two, three … I can see like four metres and he’s still got tail in the water.

“I have never been shaking so much in my whole life.”

The croc made its way over to a second shark on the sand before returning to the waves.

“F**k me dead, I cannot stop shaking,” Ms Palmer said. “Welcome to Cardwell, North Queensland.”

When posting the footage to Facebook, she apologised for hr language.

“Sorry about all the foul language guys but I was sh*tting myself,” she wrote.
