A fisherman’s catch of the day became a shark’s snack off of Cape Cod

A fisherman reeling in a striped bass off the coast of Chatham on Saturday faced a tough competitor for his prize — a great white shark.

“Oh, it’s big,” the man said as he attempted to pull in his catch in a video posted on the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy Facebook page.

But before his prize reached the boat, a shark snatched the striped bass off the fishing line, making a quick snack of the captured fish.
