Baby hammerhead shark caught in NJ bay

VENTNOR, N.J. - June 30, 2010

A woman reeled in a baby hammerhead shark in Lakes Bay in southern New Jersey.

The shark was about two feet long and had a flat head with eyes on each end.

Stacy McCarron and her husband, Matt, were on a boat when she felt a tug on her line Sunday. Her husband says "everyone on the boat was freaking out" when she landed the fish.

They posed for pictures with the shark before releasing it.

Matt McCarron says a buddy is wondering "where the shark's mother is."
