Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water, idiots have been dumping their pets into Texas lakes. This summer an alligator was found in a lake near Austin and a little kid caught a piranha at a state park near Houston.

warning signs have been posted around the lake to deter members

A better way - 12 gauge bang stick:

Although the sharks mainly eat pond fish...

but when those pond fish are all gone, what happens next???
(this is not an unreasonable question)

Unless it's a really large lake, the pond fish will be gone soon. A bull shark eats up to 10% of its weight weekly and that's a lot o'pond fish.

IIRC however, bull sharks also eat other sharks.

Back when we lived in the Anderson Mill subdivision of Austin, I used to go to Bull Creek park to fish. I caught several fish that looked like piranha with mouths full of sharp teeth.
