Eight-foot shark caught in Long Island Sound

Eddie Carroll had to pace himself.
Paddling his board to the spot that looked best to drop his line for the Bluefish Tournament in the waters off Madison.
He tells channel 3 he got a bite. And it would not let go. "It pretty much took all of my line."
Eddie went for a ride. He told WFSB TV that he realized 20 minutes into the fight that this was not a bluefish.
The suspicion was confirmed when he pulled up an eight-foot-long brown shark.
