MONSTER Shark Caught in a RIVER

In this episode of BlacktipH, I go fishing with my buddy Ryan Nitz and our goal is to catch a monster shark in the river! I dropped a mutton snapper carcass on the BlacktipH Monster Shark Rig to the bottom of the river. While I was rigging the bait, Ryan saw a monster mark on the sonar. Within 30 seconds, we got a bite! The mystery fish swam back towards the boat before realizing that it was hooked. All of a sudden, the fish took off, and the line reel started screaming! A monster bull shark splashed near the bow of the boat. Ryan and I knew we had a serious fish on the line! I fought this monster shark on spinning gear for nearly an hour before we had a chance to catch it. Ryan and I jumped out of the boat and started pulling on the leader. From the depths emerged a real monster, a 400lb bull shark! We quickly landed, removed the hook, and released the shark back into the river.

I don't know there's a difference between stupidity and having balls man... A very fine line

[@tsunami770]

@@chrisphillip253Yes but I would not walk around that beast like it's just play time, they can just turn to the side and bite and whatever they bite, they take. I am sure we have seen the video of that guy some years ago that was standing in waist deep water, surrounded by bull sharks telling people they are not that aggressive as long as you remain calm and as soon as he said that one sniffed his calf muscle and in a single bite just ripped it like you would a chicken drumstick. The filming crew had to jump in and take his ass to the ER with his leg ripped to shreds where the calf muscle should be.

[@overtheedge9298]

hate to tell you this, but one of the most dangerous to man, sharks, the Bull Shark has been found 100s of miles up rivers

[@shytoons]

Not true. Bull Sharks can live in the ocean AND fresh water. Scary AF-

[@scribescrub4101]

Thats terrifying! And look at how close they were to it in this vid🤯

That was probably the calmest bull shark I've ever seen.

He’s in retirement chillin in the river.

Massive river monster. Love the videos with Ryan. Y'all have great talks.

[@FishermanATX]

Wow Blacktip Hunter! What a great catch. I remember you since the days of extremecost fishing forums. Back I the days you posted your great fishing trips in Florida and you got these awesome videos. Way to go man!

[@HeirWolfenstein]

The species has been spotted 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) up the Amazon River in South America and dwell in Lake Nicaragua, a freshwater lake in Central America. Bull sharks have traveled up the Mississippi River as far north as Illinois and are regularly spotted in India's Ganges.

[@bricelisenbe9163]

[@carlschnackel3051]

There have been bull sharks caught in the Mississippi River, 500 miles from the Gulf. They don't need salt water. I was questioning your sanity, since you immediately turned your back on the shark, after letting it go...

[@joshuasterling2144]

Bull sharks have the highest measured levels of testosterone of any animal on the planet, its what makes them aggressive. I am assuming they have handled sharks before as this is primarily a salt water channel.

[@kwik2hear915]

He looked like he was just little lit,he's ok,thank goodness.

They had a massive log they stepped over like a guard rail

[@thomasclark7254]

[@heatherd.9390]

I had no idea sharks were in rivers... Cross river swimming off the list now! Great video, Josh! Heather🇨🇦

[@Meltz1]

Heather D. Bull sharks like the one he caught, have been as far north as Chicago now. They’ve evolved to be able to breathe in freshwater. They actually give birth in freshwater now as well. There was a bull shark attack on a little boy in the river in Chicago. I think it was a juvenile shark though, and the boy is okay. But yeah, bull sharks have evolved, and they’re mean and dangerous. They’re responsible for more attacks than all other sharks COMBINED.

[@heatherd.9390]

@@Meltz1 Yikes! Thank you for the reply with the info.

[@hughstevens510]

Bull sharks can regulate their salt usage and lights recycle it or something they can go thousands of miles of river and while I saw something that said they can only live in freshwater 44 years that's BS because there's a golf course in Australia where they've been living in the water trap for since the 90s they started out as babies and now they're having babies in the water drop Can bull sharks the most aggressive sharks because they've got more testosterone than anything on the planet

[@hughstevens510]

A bull shark swim upriver as far as it's capable of getting they can live in freshwater for well there's a golf course in Australia where some bull sharks got into the water hazard in the 90s when the local River flooded as babies and now they're grown and having babies so yeah. X gloves River thousands of miles inland in the Amazon they go up to Mississippi to so I can go in a number of other rivers pretty much anywhere they can swim potentially any lake with a big river in or out they can swim up as well and they have more testosterone than anything on the planet so they're way aggressive and territorial

[@dustind7128]

You'll have to swim in one that dosent connect to the ocean then

[@pw4331]

Life's to short to be worrying about sharks mate

[@miathapapaya]

Just about all rivers (and lakes) connected to the ocean have a good chance of containing bull sharks, unfortunately. Which us why I only swim in pools.

[@stupidkitty84]

I won't step in any body of water that I can't see into. Atlantic ocean, nah. Muddy rivers and lakes, heck no. And if you go in the deep ocean, be in a group so that hopefully the guy next to youse ends up being the fall man and not you.
