Close Encounter With Great White Shark at the Jersey Shore!
Woah! I know the ocean is their house, but I’m always surprised when there are stories of sharks at the Jersey Shore. They don’t seem the Jersey Shore type animals. Ha! I know, I’m being silly.
Here are the details from NBC10:
Captain Jeff Warford, first deckhand mate Jake Bowles and the owner of their Long Beach Island-based boat, were fishing for thresher sharks less than a mile from the beach in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Sunday afternoon. As they were fishing in about 50 feet of water, they caught what appeared to be a young great white shark.
“I mean you see people swimming in the background and here’s a white shark swimming around,” Warford said. “It was a cool experience. First time I’ve ever seen one. First time I’ve ever caught one.”
The men quickly released the shark, which was about six feet long.
