Eight-foot shark caught in the Potomac
Posted: September 3rd, 2010 |

A Maryland fisherman says he caught an eight-foot shark while cruising on the Potomac River in St. Mary’s County, NBC 4 reports.
And Willy Dean was smart enough to snap pictures.
Dean told NBC 4 that he put out a net Monday at Cornfield Harbor in the Potomac three miles north of Point Lookout hoping to catch cow-nosed rays for a Solomons Island marine biologist. When he checked the net Monday night everything seemed normal. But when he checked again Tuesday morning, he made a startling discovery: In the net was an eight-foot-long shark.
