It's pretty rare to see a great white shark in South Florida, but it does happen.

It's even rarer to catch one and reel it in!!

A high school baseball team was on a fishing boat in South Florida when exactly that happened!

It took four players over two hours to reel the shark into the boat.

Since great whites are protected, the shark was released so yay! Happy ending!

The 1,000-pound, 10-13ft shark was the largest the ship captain had ever caught in his 30 years of fishing!

Check out the video (above) to see the boys trying to reel in the beast!!

If you live in South Florida, do NOT go into the water!!

Literally tens of thousands of sharks were seen off the coast, right in the shallow water.

A lifeguard supervisor for a South Florida beach said:

"We got here this morning and they were thick, really thick. They were frenzied and chasing bait all the way up to shore. They were practically right on the sand."

A biology professor who was tracking the migration of the sharks said that he counted over 15,000 sharks less than 200 yards from shore!!

The risk of attack is apparently pretty low because the water is so clear, a shark can more easily distinguish humans from prey.

But they're still scary, and dozens of beaches in South Florida are still closed.

We recommend everyone just stay OUT of the water!!

Check out the video (above) to see dozens of sharks swimming just off the coast.

People of Miami, say hello to the boy next door!!

Looks like “The Rock” will soon have a new place to call home!

The mansion comes fully equipped with 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a pool and not one, but TWO

A family had one heck of a scare this holiday weekend.

They found a 13-foot python in their pool!!

It was in South Florida, which explains why their pool was open in December.

Luckily no one was swimming and animal control was able to rescue the animal and take it to a farm further south.

Whew. Close one.
