Shark Caught on Camera at Higgins Beach | Portland Maine News

Shark sightings keep heating up along Maine’s coast, and Labor Day weekend brought another wild moment: drone pilot Kevyn Fowler caught footage of a shark that actually bit a fishing line—and got reeled in. Recognizing the shark by its unique white gill markings, Fowler documented the catch before it was safely released. This isn’t the first close encounter—earlier this summer, a lifeguard was pulled underwater by a shark near Scarborough Beach. Scientists are tagging sharks to help plan future offshore wind farms, turning these encounters into vital data for coexisting with ocean giants.
