Rhode Island diners got to feast their eyes on a massive 20-foot shark lurking dangerously close to a small boat in a pond on Block Island, according to authorities.
Local Jen Seebeck recorded the humongous dorsal and tail fins of the blood-sniffer cutting through the water on Memorial Day while chowing down at local eatery Dead Eye Dicks located on Great Salt Pond, The Atlantic Shark Institute reported.
The sight of the toothy predator in the small body of water brought to mind the classic film “Jaws,” which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
“There’s a shark in the pond!” one person could be heard shouting in the video, a reference to a line in the Steven Spielberg classic.
Video showed one small boat motoring in the opposite direction of the quick-moving shark that was of an unknown species, according to the Institute. It appeared to be about 20 feet long, according to Boston.com.

Pond? Isn’t that usually land locked? Or is it just some New England term that few know about outside of Mew England. Kind of like a Camp in Maine being what most call a Cabin.
Yeah, “pond” in New England states can mean it’s connected to the ocean.
Just like paaahkin’ the caaah in the yaaaad......they have a weird way of speaking.
