Small boat anglers head east of Stellwagen may soon be echoing the quip of Chief Brody of “Jaws” fame, when after seeing the giant shark he said, “We need a bigger boat”! Not one but two savvy fisherman had experiences with great white sharks the past week. Both occurred while jigging bait for tuna and each resulted in a snatched baitfish, a brief, explosive battle and a humbling result. One salter claimed that his antagonist looked to weigh around a ton with a “little” 10-footer shadowing it. If you work up a sweat this weekend, now might not be the best time to take a dip overboard.
The first shark encounter comes by way of Rick Newcomb of Fore River in Quincy....
