Sharks Descend On Jersey Shorelines

Not too long ago the U.S. Coast Guard issued a shark advisory, warning New York and surrounding states that great whites may be lurking in the waters. Not long after, a fisherman was bit by an 8-foot-long blue shark, and now 1010Wins reports that lifeguards in three New Jersey towns evacuated waters after receiving reports that two 5-foot (unidentifiable) sharks were close to shore. Sounds like quite the situation. No but seriously, who do you think would win in a duel: The Situation or Jaws? Surely reality television will get there, one day.

The North Atlantic is filled with an unusual number of Great Whites this year. On Cape Cod's north shore there are sightings nearly everyday. In fact, a fisherman spotted one very large shark the other day measured at nearly 16 feet—HUGE!
