I live near the Atchafalaya Basin...it's regularly cited as a classic example of bulls adaptability to brackish and fresh water. Of course there's a documented record of one back in (IIRC) the 20's or 30's making it all the way up the Mississippi to Cairo, Illinois, although the current locks are supposed to make a recurrence of that impossible.

The ones that make it into Lake Pontchartrain are mostly juveniles and adolescents that are believed to be birthed near the Chandeleur Islands and then go back to sea as adults.

Didn’t a bull shark enter Lake Michigan around Chicago in the 50’s and bite a kid’s leg off?
