Hey Hilton, make up your mind.

This Ocearch-tagged great white shark can't seem to make up his mind whether he wants to go north or south.

Tuesday morning he surfaced about 50 miles off the Virginia-North Carolina border, then four hours later had swam south, sending a satellite ping about 30 miles east of Nags Head.

See one fin, one day, and the T-shirt vendors will sell 5 million copies of "I survived Jaws 2017" t shirts, mostly to people who never got their feet wet...

Psssst! Hilton! Yankees taste better!
