ok..thats scary..bull sharks are biters even in texas waters a 2-3ft can do you a great deal of hurt especially wade fishing with a stringer of fish....

Perhaps it's wise to keep your stringer and other dangly things out of the water.

Rob Choi just posted a video of him catching and releasing a Black Tip Shark in VA.

Great video! Thanks for the link. That is like a bucket list experience.

Bull sharks are quite common visitors to the Bay. A predator that can tolerate lower salinity and a massive estuary that's home to tons of juvenile fish, it's no big surprise. They're only caught in pound nets every few years, but that doesn't mean they aren't here every year. They've been caught up by the Bay Bridge before as well. Nothing to really worry about in my opinion, although I guess it's possible you could get yourself a Chesapeake version of the Nantucket Sleighride.
