A popular summer vacation spot, Cape Cod also has a reputation for housing one of the ocean’s fiercest predators, the great white shark. In this fascinating season 2 segment from “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 202), Richard travels to Chatham, Massachusetts, to meet Dr. Greg Skomal, one of the leading shark experts in the country, to chase and tag the famous fish. While some may believe the Hollywood tale of a man-eating shark terrorizing New England waters, Dr. Skomal is on a mission to dispel the misconception and educate the world about this often misunderstood shark.
