as if snakes and alligators werent enough to worry about now we have to be on the lookout for sharks. kalb has this vid and in it the commercial fisherman who caught the shark says that its 70 pounds [31.7 kg] and 5 feet 2 inches long [1.5 meters]. click the link to view kalb's vid.kalb snip:
A local fisherman and his son got quite a suprise Monday morning while fishing near Simmesport. While pulling up a fishing net, he found a shark inside. Newschannel 5 photographer Ben Gauthier talked with the fisherman about his catch.
lol yeah isnt that bizarre. we thought sharks were salt water "fishes" we noticed that chad over at dp has linked to it now.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of sharks potentially swimming up the Mississippi because of its often brackish content - but Avoyelles Parish? hmmph.
ReplyDeleteit occured to us that maybe he caught it offshore and brought it back to simmsport to pull his friends leg. if thats the case its pretty lame to call the tv station and get publicity about it. guess we'll find out in time if its for real or not. especially since the dead pelican picked it up so its guaranteed statewide exposure.
ReplyDeleteHas there been any followup on this?
