A video has emerged of a group of fishermen in the Northern Territory fighting off a crocodile who tried to steal a shark they caught.

The footage, posted on YouTube last month by the Cape Don Barramundi Fishing Lodge, shows one of the men on a boat struggling with the shark on the end of his line.

He eventually wrestles the shark up onto the beach alongside the boat and his friends help him drag the huge fish up onto the sand.

But the men are soon caught by surprise when a cheeky crocodile swims up to the shore and tries to steal their prize catch.

Not quite so ready to give up the battle, one of the men quickly hits the crocodile on the head with a fishing rod.

Defeated, the salt-water beast scurries back into water and swims away.

The men then gingerly pose for a group photo behind the shark.
