Aaron Caplan

A great white shark was spotted near Ocean City late last month.  

Aaron Caplan said he was fishing near the resort on July 30th when a shark began circling his boat and bit his motor.

He provided a video of the incident to CNN.

Caplan told WBOC that it was not unusual for the sharks to be seen on shore but not great whites.
