While vacationing with family in Miramar Beach earlier this month, Chip Crafton had an up close and personal encounter with a shark.
"For a couple days we were seeing sharks out in the water," Crafton said.
One day behind the Edgewater Beach Condominium, a shark came close to shore, injured and struggling with a band of white plastic around him.
"He wasn't doing too well," Crafton said. Crafton grabbed the shark and pulled it in while an employee from the condo used a knife to cut the plastic.
The shark had more fight in him then he figured, but Crafton was able to pull the shark out into the water and send him on his way.
Crafton, from Henderson, Ky., is now enjoying some minor celebrity. Since he posted the video on YouTube, producers from Inside Edition discovered it and put it on the air.
Crafton said he's been getting other calls about his shark tale, too. Someone asked why he didn't pull the shark out and keep it, but Crafton said that never crossed his mind.
"Sharks, they get a bad rap," he said.
