Md. Man Has Close Encounter With Great White; Pets Shark Off Ocean City Coast

OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) — A Maryland man has a very close encounter with a large great white shark off Ocean City’s coast.

Alex DeMetrick reports that might not sound ideal, but it makes for a heck of a story and quite a unique experience.

It happened five miles off Ocean City’s beach in a 24-foot fishing boat. Aaron Caplan was looking over the side.

“And I just saw this huge shadow that was coming straight toward us. And I told my friends on the boat, ‘Guys, don’t freak out, but there’s something coming our way,'” Caplan said.
