That's what happened to some guys fishing not far off the beach in Sea Isle City this past Saturday.

NJ.com reports that Jim Piazza and his son and his son's friend were fishing about a mile off the coast when they had an encounter with a shark, estimated at about 12 feet long.

Not long after the encounter with the shark, the group was met by the U.S. Coast Guard for a safety check. Piazza and company shared the story, and the Coast Guard shared Piazza's video:

There you have it! In case you didn't know, the ocean has sharks! :)
