JUPITER, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\nSharks caught on video off shore in St. Lucie County, Jupiter<\/p>\n
Possible great white hooked by fishermen, hammerhead washes up dead.<\/p>\n
JUPITER, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n
Two sharks were spotted along the Atlantic Ocean shore \u2014 one that washed up dead and another of fishermen struggling with a hooked one. <\/p>\n
Both incidents occurred Friday, with video sent to WPBF.<\/p>\n
Jensen Beach resident and avid beach walker Kathy Green was walking along Normandy Beach on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County when she filmed a group of fishermen struggling with a 12-foot shark they had hooked. <\/p>\n
The fishermen unhooked the deadly beast and released it back into the water.<\/p>\n
Shark expert and conservationist Jim Abernethy believes it was a great white shark by looking at the video.<\/p>\n
Also Friday, a hammerhead shark was spotted dead just south of the Jupiter Beach Resort.<\/p>\n
Christopher Ray, a musician, submitted video to WPBF.<\/p>\n
Later that day, Fish & Wildlife removed the shark.<\/p>\n
Shark Week 2026 ran from July 26 to Saturday on the Discovery Channel.<\/p>\n
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has ordered Martin County, which also includes Hutchinson Island, to follow rules about people fishing for fish or sharks from the beach or shoreline.<\/p>\n
Shark fishing requires a state saltwater fishing license to fish within 1,000 feet of the guarded beach boundaries at any time.<\/p>\n
Under the current county ordinance, shark fishing is prohibited within 1,000 yards of the county’s four guarded beaches: Jensen, Stuart, Bathtub and Hobe Sound.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, commissioners postponed making a decision and asked attorneys to review the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharks caught on video off shore in St. Lucie County, Jupiter Possible great white hooked by fishermen, hammerhead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[513,1791,4112,8597,54159,20254,1160,10218,171,173,172,2745,6055,19589,15061,1402,1045,189],"class_list":["post-362024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-beach","tag-fish","tag-fisherman","tag-friday","tag-hobe-sound","tag-jupiter","tag-martin-county","tag-one","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-shark","tag-shark-fishing","tag-sharks","tag-shore","tag-st-lucie-county","tag-video","tag-wpbf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
