Happy Shark Week!

To celebrate "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel, I dug around YouTube and found some videos of people fishing in Maine who had encounters with sharks, either coming right up to their boat, or attempting to disrupt their fishing. This is my favorite way to enjoy sharks, and that is being nowhere near the water!
