VIDEO: Fishing boat hauls in Great White Shark off Rhode Island, releases it

BOSTON — A commercial fishing vessel off Rhode Island hauled in some impressive by-catch recently.

Michael Lorello posted photos and videos of a six-foot Great White Shark that got caught in a fishing net off the South Coast.

According to Lorello, the white shark was hauled in about 3/4 of a mile off Misquamicut Beach Sunday afternoon.

In the videos posted, workers tie a rope around the shark's tail fin and cut it loose over the back of the boat -- freeing the live shark back into the water.
