Caught 10 minutes from my home...

Young bull shark caught on trot line in the Tombigbee River about 65 miles up river from the Gulf. Time to bust out my SW rigs for some FW fishing.

I hope it's rare that the bull sharks enter that river, still a scary scenario oddball.

I believe bull sharks breed in fully freshwater

I believe bull sharks breed in fully freshwater

indeed they do, and spend a good chunk of time there maturing as well.

Was it released?

I don't think so. There were a lot of pics taken both on the river and at a boat ramp.
