I saw a Bull Shark in a freshwater river, around somewhat coastal North Florida. It was a really long way in from any brackish water, let alone the Gulf. Maybe a hundred miles in. It was huge, and I was in a kayak. Funny thing is that way back then, I had absolutely no idea they could be in freshwater. So at the time it seemed surreal.

A little known fact. You can get to the Great Lakes by 17 water routes. You can always use the rivers or the St. Lawrence seaway, or man made canals. There are 15 paths through the canals that are not in use anymore.

[@HarrounDesigns]

On 2 separate occasions, people brought red piranha they caught in a river that fed into Lake Erie to our Coast Guard station to see if they should report it. The fish were up to about 10 inches long. Ohio DNR said that someone must have put them in the river and they just survived very well since they didn't have any predators... crazy.

[@deepg7084]

Back in the day you could mail-order piranhas. When my bro-in-law was a kid in the late 70's/early 80's he mail-ordered some from China. He said by the time he got them, most of them were dead and eaten by the other piranhas, but a few did survive the transit. Then they started growing and he realized his little goldfish tank wasn't going to be big enough. He donated them to a pet shop. I can see how some stupid people would just dump them in a river or lake.

So the Jaws story- I grew up there. The shark went up into the Matawan river. My friends dad worked nights at the matawan library cleaning and they had old videos we’d watch. We came across a shark video and turned out it was a town’s history video you’d never see on tv but it was awesome. I actually followed the sharks path one day on a little John boat from the bay into the river. It gets really tight and the shark must have swam through a small under street drain tunnel I barely got the boat through. Anyway, the water is brackish throughout that whole area. After those attacks I don’t think I ever seen anyone ever swim in that water. Kids used to I heard but not while I was growing up. Besides, the water turned a weird green color and everything thought it was toxic

[@WES_5150]

First time I ever saw a sturgeon was many years ago on Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri... a weekday morning, water was like glass, Im on my wave runner going about 30 miles an hour, and about 20 feet in front of me one about 5 feet long jumps straight into the air. Surprised and scared me so much I instantly went flying off my wave runner into the water. I didnt know what it was until someone behind us informed me after I got back on my wave runner.

The salmon joe was talking about was the largest species of salmon that went extinct. Those salmon would migrate all the way up through Spokane Washington. You can find pictures back in the 1910’s of 4 foot long salmon. These are the Salmon that the Spokane Indian tribe use to catch and use for trade with the neighboring tribes such as the the Colville, Chewelah, and Kalispel Tribes. It truly a travesty what happened to those Salmon.

[@andyfletcher3561]

I saw plenty of salmon that size on Issaquah Creek in the late 60's early 70's. They would be so huge and so thick together you could damn near walk across the creek on their backs. The Chinook(or King) salmon is not extinct though they probably can't reach to Spokane anymore. My paternal grandfather tied into a Chinook that was all of 3 foot long one late August day on the Cowlitz while we were fishing for Harvest Trout(sea run cutthroat). He was using a fly rod with a light tippet and the salmon was either early or late(been a long time) so he wasn't expecting it. Fought it for nearly an hour before it broke off right at the bank. My mother landed an 80 pounder but that was in the ocean out of Westport, and also early 60's.

[@khure711]

Andy Fletcher yeah there has been a lot of effort from the Colville tribe in restoring the Chinook to the upper Columbia River. But as I stated those chinook that did migrate all the way up the Columbia did go extinct when their spawning grounds were blocked by dams. That’s a cool story you told, I wish I could land a 3 foot Salmon. Would be the catch of a lifetime. Also I left a link on some history and what the Colville tribe is trying to do. There are some cool pictures in there as well of those Salmon. spokanehistorical.org/items/show/432

[@iamcropsey]

I’m from Kelowna, BC and we are known for having a sea creature called the “Ogopogo” there’s statues in town and tons of lore surrounding the animal. The name comes from the natives who originally resided in Kelowna. Our lakes are filled with giant sturgeon and it’s pretty commonly known that, that’s what the ogopogo really is. But still every few years we have someone come forward claiming they have footage of the “dinosaur”. I’ll admit it was super fun to grow up around though. There’s a story about the Ogopogo allegedly saving a school bus of children who ended up adrift when our old floating bridge was said to break apart. There’s absolutely no fact behind this story but it was a huge part of my childhood

Actually the salmon fertilize the whole forested watershed when bears take the fish into the woods, only eat the brains, and leave the rest for the flies etc and rot.

Bull Sharks head quite a way into Australia's interior. Often juveniles swim into pretty small streams etc, managing to fit through narrows that would discourage adults sharks, and then grow to adult size in inland waterways. Never mind how far crocs have been migrating down the coast of Queensland.

[@blueeyeddevil454]

I don't know how true it is but did you hear about the sighting of a croc off Strady this year. Also did you hear about the bulls trapped in the water trap at the Carbrook Golf Club Qld. I was kayaking up at lake Weyba Noosa recently and couldn't help but wonder how far south they are coming.

I’m a professional spear fishermen in the Florida Keys. I gotta say Bull Sharks are one of the easiest sharks to deal with underwater. You know they are going to be aggressive and approach you.

I caught a sturgeon on the Snake River just a few miles from my house down here in southern Idaho. It was among one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. It took nearly an hour to reel that bad boy in.... And he was bigger than I was! Truly a magnificent creature. It's pretty amazing how calm that fish was when I reeled it in, it was very easy to unhook it, and it gracefully just swam away. I will never forget that day.

I don't usually comment on KZbin. This last summer, I was paddleboarding in the Detroit river between the bell Isle beach and the bell Isle bridge, quite a distance from people. Saw a blatant dorsal fin go above the water for about 5 seconds before descending back down. Thought it might have been a sturgeon, looked it up and they don't have dorsal fins. Now I finally know that it was in fact a bullshark

Just so you know, the "person" who figured out fire wasn't even a person. We've got pre-human archeological evidence of camp fires. Homo Habilus was doing that shit over a million years ago. Neanderthals were building camp fires, making stone tools, weaving fabrics. They painted and played music. Humans weren't the only intelligent life on this planet. A lot of our "technologies" were prehuman.

[@xxxxOS]

@@billybobjoe198 I'm aware. It was a joke. By 'person' I meant, not a frog or sabertooth tiger. Someone or some group had to have been 'the first', however.

I hooked into a sturgeon while pike fishing on Lake Huron. It was like trying to pull in a boat. My little fishing pole had NO chance. Line went out and that was the end,,,I tightened the drag to the point of breaking and watched all my line go away and snap!! Maybe I hooked a submarine but it was a steady powerful pull. I could tell from the first 10 seconds that I was doomed. The power from this fish was something I will never forget.

Sturgeon fishing is the most boring way to fish, I prefer to have a boat drag my line off the beach a few hundred yards out into the river and just wait there instead of sitting in a boat all day staring at my pole tip. At least on the beach I can relax drink beer and take a piss in the bushes.

i was born in Seattle Washington and grew up an hour north of the city. it's called the Ballard Lochs, that is where you can see the fish ladder. it was there when i was a child. and the little creeks near my childhood home until the late 90"s would be full of salmon during spawning season. more salmon than water in the little creeks and rivers. restaurants would have glass windows in the floors over the creeks and people would gather from time to time just watching the magnificent animals doing their natural migration. now days, seeing just one salmon spawning is like seeing a shooting star across the night sky, occasionally you'll see one. and if the news promotes it as being some special thing one day or for a week maybe you'll see more than one. it's sad to have actually seen the decline in nature from somewhere that is protected and nurtured and yet still the ways of man have demolished the numbers of the species in the wild.

DNR IN MInnesota have pulled bullsharks out of Lake pepin in the middle of winter out on the ice. Tagged them then released them. It floods every year and the dams are open mostly the whole way up river. Natives have cave drawings of sharks on the walls up here as well. They always have been here. Plenty of food is my guess attacks don't happen. Who swims in moving water at night when they come up from the bottom and are more active. The current detours people who don't want to drowned. I'd be more worried about snapping turtles as big as pick up beds I've seen released up here. There is many things not talked about. I refuse to tube the river knowing what I've seen.
