Couple years ago my son caught a baby blue shark by hand in Jersey in the pocket of Island Beach State Park's jetty. It was in the shallows chasing baby pomps and after trying to catch it with bunker chunks without success the shark got within striking distance and he hands me the rod, "hold this". LOL
I tell him that it isn't a doggie, it's got real teeth and can get you even if you grab the tip of its tail . . . he, in perfect 17 yo practice says, "I'll be fine" . . .
He was and the fish was released after a few identifying shots.
