Looks legit, considering the ESPN story. What a freakin' giant!

That's the same species that swam up Mattowan Creek in Virginia back in the 1800s and killed those two boys that went swimming. The Bull Shark is known to be extremely tolerant of fresh water, and they are also known to be mankillers. That one would definitely scare the bejeebers out of me!

didn't pay attention that there was a link from ESPN. Just saw the pic and figured it was BS after the e-mail I received.

Here's a friend of a friend deal. My buddy has a friend who guides that area. Out with a client wade fishing off Mud Island. Guide saw the fin of what seemed to be a lage shark so they bail. Next day same guide, same area, wade fishing saw the fin of a large shark, again they get to the island, wait a while and make a quik run to the boat and bail. The guide has a buddy who fishes for shark, told him what happened over the last two days. The dude fishes that area and catches the state record Bull shark. To think the guide was wading and had that thing swim by in consecutive days!!!!
