Fishermen catch small shark at Nassau County beach

LONG BEACH, N.Y. -- Fishermen made a surprise catch at a beach in Nassau County on Wednesday.

They reeled in a shark at Lafayette Street in Long Beach.

It's unclear what kind of shark it was, but it took fishermen about half an hour to get the 4- to 5-footer under control and on the beach.

Once on the sand, they removed the hook and released the shark.
