The group aboard the charter fishing vessel Lady Anne got quite the surprise off Monhegan on Aug. 27, when a 7-foot-long mako shark launched itself onto the boat’s deck. A 20-second clip shows the shark flailing about in the water as the fishermen attempt to reel it in. The shark disappears beneath the water only to reappear mere seconds later soaring into the air and onto the boat, sending the crew and guest scrambling to get out of its way. “Thankfully, no one on board was injured! Astonishingly, the mako was measured, tagged, nudged toward the transom door and released,” Sea Ventures Charters said.
