OCEAN CITY, N.J. -

If you are heading down the shore this weekend, heads up! Especially after you hear about what was lurking in the waters near Ocean City, N.J.

A man known fittingly enough as "Shark Tony" reeled in a 7-foot-long thresher shark from the water just off of the 59th Street beach.

"Shark Tony" hooked the shark from a kayak and back paddled it to the beach, where it took him and two other guys to pull it out of the water.

According to marine biologists, thresher sharks are not considered dangerous and attacks are exceptionally rare.
