ORLEANS – The crew of a charter fishing boat caught some dramatic video footage of a white shark leaping at a fish that was being reeled in on Cape Cod Bay Saturday.
A post from Captain Marc Costa of Columbia Sportfishing on Instagram show the shark jumping out of the water just seconds before the fish was going to be pulled in overboard.
The footage was captured by Doug Nelson of Franklin. The shark was an estimated 8 feet in length.
