Sharktide! Coming soon to SyFy.

But nearly three years after commercial fisherman John “Willy” Dean hauled in the first bull shark recorded in the Potomac in 37 years,

If the map in the article is correct, it looks like it was well into the bay rather than in the river.

Just stay out of the water while they are feeding, generally dawn and dusk.

Brings back memories of my ex, and that was forty years ago.

Granted, DC is full of sharks... but in the Potomac? That had to be an interesting day of fishing.

Maybe they’ll swim up the Mississippi, to the Chicago River. Then into the Great Lakes.

My brother and his wife take their sea kayaks into brackish waters and I have warmed them to watch out for bull sharks that inhabit freshwater.

They always laugh.

Here's what lives in those waters...youtube video of shark

The shark appears at about the 40 sec. mark in the video.

The map says “approx” and it looks like a lame MapQuest generalization as it is.

Pt. Lookout is definitely the very tip at the juncture of the river into the Chesapeake, but if this man says they were more in the Potomac, I believe him.

Point Lookout is not exactly fresh water. I go crabbing there sometimes. It’s the tidal Potomac emptying into the Chesapeake Bay.
