Sand Tiger Shark caught in Ocean City

[Excerpt]
A South Jersey man pulled a seven-foot sand tiger shark from the waters just off the shore of Ocean City, N.J., Wednesday evening.

The man, whom beach regulars know only as "Shark Tony," landed the seven-foot-long catch after hooking it from a kayak and paddling back to the beach near the 59th Street Pier.

Mark Miedama, who worked as a member of the Ocean City beach patrol this summer, was sitting on the sand with friends about 7:30 when he noticed Shark Tony struggling with a big catch.

It was originally reported as a thresher shark, but they had the shark species incorrect.
