A group of fishermen caught more than they bargained for in WA's north - filming an enormous manta ray swimming around their boat just metres from the shore.
Boilermaker Chris Holzer and his mates were returning from a crabbing trip at Boat Beach on Sunday just outside the Pilbara town of Wickham when they spotted something big in the water.
Explorer and photographer Jacquie McGhie took this amazing footage in a place known as 'The Nurse's Quarters' - a known hot spot off the West End to see grey nurse sharks.
"It was in very shallow water, like seven metres, so it was very clear and we had a good look at it."
Having moved to Wickham from South Australia around 18 months ago, Mr Holzer has become a keen fisherman in the Pilbara and said he loves nothing more than getting out on the region's pristine water.
