Anybody else heard of the 8 footer Bull shark caught today on the Potomac river?

Buy, how much fun it would be to pull in that baby on an unbreakable ugly and a Revo with 65# braid  ;D If I fought that fish and didn't know I had a shark I think i'd better change my pants when I pulled it ashore. LOL

Down the road from were i live and to think i let my kids swim in the water i been doin all my life though chances of getting killed by a shark here has to be like winning a lotto ..i hope anyhow

When it comes to swimming in the Potomac, i'm more worried about how polluted it is than bull sharks. :-[

i thought they caught it two days ago. i heard they got one in the patuxent too

They caught one today also supposedly. Maybe all these sharks coming in the river's are due to instincts from the approaching 'cane?

Im not talking about the one Micro posted, I heard this one on the news this afternoon

Bulls can travel hundreds of miles upstream in rivers all over the world. People are killed frequently by them in the Ganges River in India. I once saw one in Cypress Creek in Ft.Lauderdale Florida all the way back where the fresh water lock is located, and people ski and swim in Cypress all the time! I never went more than knee deep in there after seeing that shark. It was a good 6 feet in length.

The water where these fish are being caught is salt water. It's not like they're catching them at the Key Bridge. That COULD technically happen but I don't see why everyone is so shocked about them catching a shark in those waters.

yeah me neither. they've caught them in the potomac in the past...

I had abouta  4 foot sand shark swimming around me all day while fishing for blues.  I never could snag that critter.

While at the OBX this summer I caught about a 3 footer fair and square. She was a purdy little sand shark so she got some sugar and back into the water she went  8-)
