(WHDH) — A local fisherman snagged a massive great white shark Sunday in the waters off Rhode Island.
Michael Lorello was less than a mile from Misquamicut Beach when he netted the six-foot shark around 12:30 p.m.
“We were just towing our net. It was about an hour-and-a-half tow. And we hauled back, and there was a six-foot great white shark in there,” Lorello said.
Video shared on Facebook showed the shark flopping around on top of a bed of fish.
Lorello released the shark back into the water.
