Underwater Video Shows Shark Encounter off Barnegat Light, NJ

Especially, when that shark sighting is at the Jersey Shore.

A local fishing charter boat was out off the beach in Barnegat Light recently, when Captain Steve Purul managed to capture underwater video of a fairly decent size shark circling the vessel's bait line.
