Was a couple miles up a creek, which was pretty far up a tidal river.
Usually catch blue, channel and white cats, plus bullheads, LMB, perch, snakeheads, etc Dry years catch puppy drum early fall. But fresh enough I still catch crappie and sunfish there. Thought I had a 35lb plus cat. Nope.  Attached File |

Lucky (or unlucky depending on your fishing preferences) it wasn't a Bull Shark.
Nat Geo says they found Bull Sharks alive and swimming waaay up freshwater rivers. While bull sharks are commonly found along coastlines, bays, and harbors, they also frequent a most uncommon shark habitat—freshwater rivers. 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. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/shark-attack-threats-bull-sharks-location |

This one was a few years back, but one was landed same spots few weeks ago.
