i live near and surf regularly one of the 5 most shark infested beaches in the world (New Smyrna) as well as notoriously shark infested Stewart Inlet, Cocoa Beach, etc.  I've been out on a board and felt something brush my leg. probably nothing big, but its still a sketchy feeling

Gumby, I don't know if you watch River Monsters but there was a show on bull sharks and how they are moving up into fresh water and becoming land locked

Yep, that's exactly where I got the info for the post. I saw it a few months ago and then let it sink in for a bit. After seeing it again (on Animal Planet right now, btw) I decided to make a post about it. It's definitely worth letting people know about.

I go to New Smyrna Beach every Christmas. You couldn't pay me enough to go take a swim there... Beautiful place, but so many fucking things out there that could turn me into an afternoon snack.

Oddly enough, New Smyrna is considered the shark attack capital of the world, but no one has ever been killed by a shark there. They just get nibbled on a bit.

And here I was swimming in a river just today, the Potomac which is probably a high risk river when dealing with these guys.

It always sucks when "nibbled on a bit" means losing a leg. Happens a lot. Sharks come in and they're like "what's up human thigh, you look delicious." And next thing you know you're bleeding out because it ruptured you femoral artery.

Potomac is full of snakeheads now. While they won't drag you under, they will definitely give you scars if they bite you. I want to go fishing for them some time soon.

Good to see some fish topics on here.  I'm a marine biologist/ minor mico (guess why the random interest in that) and I've considered those rectal glands for thesis topics.  Anyone who's finds this interesting should look into some of the other glands various fish have evolved for eurystatic spp.

PS. you guys don't have much to fear with these guys.  Bull sharks are deff one of the more aggressive, but honestly, when we see shark down here, even tiger (or lemon when we're in the islands) we jump in.  I did have a friend whose grad student lost a leg to what they thought was a lemon, but if you take the chance of driving a car at 70mph, you should try the fun of diving with these prehistoric dudes.:cheers:

I want to attack a shark for once.

Just jump out of a boat onto a shark and start wrestling for my life.

I seen some guy do something similar with a sailfish or marlin, cant remember which, from a helicopter and it was like the most epic way of fishing I have ever seen and want to do it myself. A shark would be a bit funnier though.

I don't recommend that, but if you, do tape it and post it...  but don't do it.

I'm not going to, it's just one of those thoughts I had that I will never do but think it would be funny and thrilling if I did.
