I heard about this on the morning talk on my radio station going to work this morning. Freakin' awesome! Thanks for posting Andy, I've been wanting to see this all morning. As the saying goes; 'there's always a bigger fish'.
A little hard to tell but I think that's a bull shark. I've eaten shark meat before, it's ok I guess, it's a little dry though. Too bad they didn't catch it, that would have been super awesome to see.
It almost looked like what was on the line was eaten by the shark. Those bull sharks are dangerous animals and can be found way up in fresh water area. Very exciting for those people though.
