This story and video is crazy. A group of people were fishing about 65 miles off the coast of Pinellas County and encounter a great white shark!
Peter Lambie and Gretchen Cooper took video of what they said was an 18-foot shark swimming up to their boat and biting its motor.
The shark stayed around for hours and one of the guys even got so close to it, he could pet it.
