    I heard Hemingway carried a Thompson while tuna fishing for just this reason.

    I've had sharks and gators go after fish I've had on line; nothing like that. Predators will almost always go after a target in apparent distress and a hooked fish fits that bill.

    The only way a shark could catch a marlin is if it is in distress.

    The taxman strikes again. Unfortunately going for gamefish like that does entail being taxed now and then.

    I was fishing in Mexico for Tuna and Marlin fish not long ago, and if that had happened to me, I'd have been ecstatic!! Nice video find!!

    I like the commentary, the Aussies (I assume) sounded all calm, cool and collected like this is a typical Sunday afternoon.

    They need to bring a good ol' .45 next time

    Put out a set line over night once and had a uge catish on the line in the morning. Inside him was a smaller one that had taken my bait.

    I tuned out the Aussie speak and thought the fisherman ripped the fish's head off from pulling it so hard.

    Identifying marks and appearance

    Bull sharks may grow to a length of 350 cm and weigh about 230 kg. Their massive appearance is rather striking. Their short and round snout is a conspicuous feature, and in contrast to other gray shark species from the Carcharhinidae family, bull sharks have very small eyes. Their most noticeable characteristic is, however, the dorsal fin which is shaped like a triangle. The bodyÔs colors are subdued, with a dark-gray back and a white belly. With pups, the end of the fins are black, but this coloring disappears as they grow older.
