A group of fishermen had a close encounter with a great white shark who swam up to a boat and stole a bag of chum off the coast of New Jersey on Monday. The dramatic video posted to social media shows a massive great white swim up against the stern of a 31-foot Bertram sport boat as it was sailing 30 miles from Manasquan Inlet. He estimates that the length of the shark was more than half the size of the boat. The remarkable encounter took place in the part of the Atlantic Ocean which has a depth of 110 feet. Experts say it is rare for a great white shark to be seen off the coast of New Jersey, even though the population of this particular species is on the rise.
