Witnesses say a man in a kayak hauled in a big shark about 200 yards off a New Jersey beach.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center says it was a 6-foot sand tiger shark.

The shark was brought ashore at the 58th Street beach in Ocean City Wednesday night.

Teddy Lyons tells WMGM-TV the man often kayaks with a bucket of chum and usually catches smaller brown sharks.

After taking some pictures, the shark was released back into the ocean.

Sand tiger sharks usually don’t threaten humans.
