A nearly 6-foot long shark was caught a mile from where a man was bitten in the Neuse River last week.
Bull shark caught in North Carolina river
The shark was caught by accident outside of Clubfoot Creek in the Neuse River July 28 by two unidentified men. They were fishing near Great Island and noticed thrashing when they began pulling in their shrimp net.
By the weight of the net and the heavy thrashing, the duo knew something big was in the net and headed into shore.
Once they made it to the bank, the found the 6-foot bull shark. After posing for photos, the shark was released back into the river.
Clubfoot Creek is about a mile from Cherry Branch, where a man was bitten July 22 by what was suspected to be a bull shark.
The unidentified man had been wakeboarding with his family and was in the water with his son around 6 p.m. The son felt something brush against him and minutes later, his father was bitten on the left calf.
They quickly climbed onto their boat and headed toward shore. The man’s daughter called 911 and was directed to the Ferry. Havelock EMS responded to the scene and took the man to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern.
It is not uncommon to see female bull sharks traveling upriver to pup.
Bull sharks received their name due to their aggressive natures, and are one of the deadliest species of sharks. When they attack prey, they fight hard and often bite multiple times
