It's been another busy summer of shark sightings in the region. At least six new great whites have been tagged by researchers off the Massachusetts coast.
Earlier this month, a 6-year-old boy fishing in Cape Cod Bay actually hooked a great white shark; the shark was cut free. Three more great whites were spotted on the eastern edge of the Cape.
