Backyard Bully
Monday, June 4th, 2007
A bull shark, measuring almost 9 feet in length and estimated at around 700 pounds was caught in Florida by a guy fishing from his backyard dock. Dang! I wouldn’t be doing any skinny dipping back there if I were him. He plans to mount the jaws and return the carcass to the sea.

Look at that hook! He was expecting SOMETHING big to bite!
he should have let it go
Yeah, he should have let it go. And Will Van Sant keeps on calling the shark a Man Killer, what a croc of crap.
I don’t think I’d have tried getting my hands close enough to unhook it…..
OMG! Look at the size of it!!! I didn’t think bulls got that big…usually 6-8 footers….I could be wrong….those Florida waters are full of them, though….
I think the current world record is 636 pounds and the Florida record is 517. I say go for it! Once in a life time catch. Nice Catch!!!!
Definetly a once in a lifetime catch, cuz in the next lifetime there won’t be any sharks left to catch…
Big bull…there are plenty of bull sharks in those and other waters…the problem is not here is with the shark fin industry and long liners…!
ok english problems, the problem here is not with…blah blah blah
You shouldn’t be fishing for ‘em.
Damb that’s one big one , good catch ,except i would sell it , and use the money for a bigger boat. Lol Have fun out there!
