Back in the 80’s they caught a 12’ Bullshark in the Bush river in the Northern Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
That was near my hometown of North East, MD. The fisherman who caught it was named Henry “Pip” Pratt, and the shark was trapped in one of his eel pots, if I remember correctly. The shark was hung up by the tail in the churchyard in town (St. Mary Ann’s) and the whole town turned out to see it (including me - I was a kid at the time). Come to think of it, my father has a few of the shark teeth from it - Mr. Pratt gave them to him because he (my father) was his dentist.
