I stopped swimming in inter-coastal waterways a long time ago. Not because of bull sharks, mind you. They never really crossed my mind. More of a general fear of the unknown…and dirt. Maybe gar, or gators, or something else that probably poses no real threat to me, but not bull sharks. Until now.
The bull shark above, hooked off a residential dock in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s inter-coastal waterway, was supposedly a 6 to 7 footer. It was also eating a 5 pound red drum. Given the priceless reaction of the anglers, I think it’s safe to say that folks down in Myrtle Beach don’t typically encounter such beasts in those waters, and I imagine they’re somewhat grateful for that — though probably not as grateful as they apparently were to have caught it all on camera.

People wanting to know where this is, it is right here http://goo.gl/maps/eTeg on Rice Circle in Cherry Grove Inlet, North Myrtle Beach, SC. The shark swam in from the open ocean mouth of House Creek Inlet at the beach about 4 miles as the shark swims to the area of House Creek near Rice Circle as seen here http://goo.gl/maps/cF5p The bull shark is probably hanging in that whole area of House Creek.
