Given the amount of whale and dolphin deaths off the Jersey Shore in recent months, it's a fair question to at least contemplate whether any sharks may come to our coastline.
A Toms River resident however, ended his fishing trip in Seaside Park with a little more than just a nibble on the line.
Now, I've had friends who do this type of fishing when they'd visit the shore, but I don't think they ever caught anything quite this big!
When you take a dip in South Jersey coastal waters, make sure you don't forget whose house it is. Video shows that the sharks are never lurking too far away.
Talk about an amazing rescue! This was anything but a typical day at the beach.
A big thank you goes out to this brave beach-goer who rescued a 3 foot sand shark with his bare hands in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island over the weekend...
