OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) -- A Maryland man who calls himself the "OCSharkHunter" on social media has been charged with guiding fishing trips without a license.

Undercover officers reportedly paid Ager $750 to catch large sharks from the Over Sand Vehicle portion of Assateague Island.
He also faces federal charges for operating a business on public land without a permit.
If found guilty of the state charges, he could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and fined $1,000.
