OCEAN CITY, Nj. (WTVR) - Catching sharks may seem dangerous to some, but for one New Jersey man, tracking down "big fish" is all fun and games.

Equipped with a kayak, "Shark Tony" reeled in a 7-ft. Dusky Shark on Wednesday. He heads out just before sundown each day to track down sharks. Once he finds one, he poses with his catch and then releases it back into the ocean.

Shark Tony says Dusky Sharks aren't "man eaters"- maybe that brings comfort to some brave soul somewhere.
