Everyone knows Bull Sharks are not found north of the Ohio river.

You don't know just how true that might be...

This same story (except the first part was changed to a lake in Kentucky) with the same picture made rounds on FB sent to a friend that lives here but is from KY.

There was also a story 2 days ago about a pair of Great Whites in the Mississippi River by ST Louis. I call BS on that one too

Great White, yeah no. They can't survive fresh water. Bull sharks can. And yes Bull sharks while rare are found in the Mississippi river at least that far north. See above. They have been found 2500 miles inland in the Amazon. Heck they have been seen leaping like Salmon over rapids to get inland.

If it's a female wouldn't it be a Cow shark?

I am amazed that people would even believe stories like this.

If it's a female wouldn't it be a Cow shark?

Or a nurse shark.

Know about the Bull sharks. Was stationed in the Military by Memphis and the Mississippi for 5 years just simply calling a BS story on the alleged Bull sighting in KY lake and the coincidence of timing to the Great White story but thanks for feeling compelled to preach marine biology. LOL

I'd heard it was spotted in Geist hanging around Cocktail Cove.

You're mistaken, that was the Cougar sighting!

Well, since there's no such thing as a sammich shark, I guess you're right!?
