Beachgoers in Long Beach, New York, today found themselves up close and personal with several sharks.
Courtney Blount was on the beach this afternoon when she saw a man with about three fishing lines set up. He intended to catch sea bass or fluke, but instead, ended up catching four or five sharks, Blount said.

Each shark was released back into the ocean, Blount said.
