I've never seen a bull shark that big. Thought it was a different species until I read the article. Huge mama shark! Could you imagine having her swim by you at the beach.

And that my friend, is why I no longer get in the water at the beach. What's even scarier about bull sharks is their ability to swim quite far inland due to a salinity gland that allows them to stay alive in freshwater. Add in their mega dose of testosterone and it could make a really bad day for somebody. I'm not scared of sharks, I just respect them enough to keep my *** on dry land.

Forget that!

FTA: "Bull sharks "have the most testosterone of any animal on the planet, so that should tell you a little something," Hammerschlag said. They also like to hang out in shallow, coastal waters."

Don't know if I'll be wading out into the ocean anymore!

LOL I was late, but I obviously echo your statement.

When I was about 10, I kicked a shark in the mouth while wading out to the first sand bar. I was lucky enough to pull my foot out before it totally clamped on, but when I got out of the water, hilarity ensued. My mother and family were screaming "SHARK!!!" Shortly thereafter, I was surrounded by onlookers, and I was completely embarrassed. There were just thin scratches from where the teeth had begun to dig into my foot.

Everytime Couples Retreat comes on, my wife laughs at me and yells " I KNOW MY TRUTH " after the part were Vince Vaughn had claimed he was a victim of a shark attack.

i still swim but at certain parts of the day i know to stay out of the water. Anytime close to sunup andsun down are prime hunting time. also be aware of bait balls. a few years ago i swam through a biat ball of jumping silver fish luckily swimming away from dolphins. that was about a hours south of galveston. sharks have there place in the eco system and id like to see them stick around for another million years or so. next month i will be in great white waters, now thatsa little freaky..

I wade fish mud island. The state record bull shark was caught 3 weeks after I was fishing a tourney on that island. Bull sharks are the most aggressive shark known and have been known to not care if you are part of their normal food chain.
