Fisherman catches a bull shark in the Guadelupe River north of San Antonio

[TexPatriot]

In New Braunfels, TX. Thats like 250 miles from the Gulf by river.

They're trying to downplay it like the mayor of Amity Island did in Jaws as the Guadelupe is a popular tubing river for all the college kids and riffraff that follows them.

Bull sharks appreciate when people jump into their occupied water space from an elevated dock.

Free fish food.

Bull sharks have been 1000 miles up the Mississippi in Hellinois. Theoretically not many places are safe

When I was younger we use to tube that river quite a bit.
Also home to the only native Ciclid I'm aware of in Texas, they are beautiful fish I just could ever bring myself keep any always put them back.

The artisian spring fed San Marcos River, also in Comal Co., was the prettiest river I've ever seen as far as water.

We used to have our family reunions at Garner State Park on the Frio River.
One of my favorite places on Earth.

Peter Bentley's "Jaws" was based on the true story of a bull shark's attacks in a river, not a Great White shark in the ocean.

I got to see mermaids swim with and hand feed giant catfish, watch Ralph the swimming pig do his famous 'swine dive' and see a genius chicken in a cage play tic tac toe for a quarter at Aquarina Springs in San Marcos.

Thats at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, right down the road.

In fact, I have a blk&white pic of me and an ex on the wall showing her dressed in some saloon girl outfit sitting on a bar smoking a cigar. We had been drinking Jack Daniels and she was really smoking the cigar and the photographer wanted us out of there.

I’m less than 5 miles from there…first I’ve heard of one this far north. Hell, I grew up in Florida, and it was rare to get sharks more than a couple miles up the Manatee river from the gulf.

crazy

Bull sharks are bad ass and aggressive. They don't mind fresh and brackish water so they show up in unexpected places. I used to swim in the ocean and waterways a lot...surf morning and evenings etc. Then I started offshore fishing and saw the number of sharks including tigers, big hammerheads and great whites close to the beach and said nope....no more. We have a bunch of alligators now too. See them often inshore fishing....again, nope.

Had to occur before the Canyon Lake Dam as that shark could not have made it upstream from Canyon Lake unless it was planted there so it can't be north of San Antonio, but certainly east to northeast from SA.

That's some cold ass water coming outta canyon lake into the Guadalupe River, don't see how a ocean dwelling fish could survive in that river , I think someone is pulling a fast one on the public, and they fell for it.
