Yes, bull sharks have been tagged in the Gulf of Mexico and then see in Lake Nigaragua.

Years ago a dead bull shark was found on the shores of the Mississippi north of St. Louis. How the shark got there is the subject of debate.

There are well documented shark attacks in rivers in the USA and Australia. In the USA, at Matewan, N.J. it appears to be ten or more miles inland.

Predictors have already made it into the Great Lakes. That is why we now have Coho Slalmon in the Lake.

Actually coho were purposely introduced I believe in the 1960s. They feed on some invasive species such as alewives. Their population could not be sustained in the Lakes without hatchery and restocking activity.

In any case, when cleaned properly (by removing potentially toxic fatty portions) they make for an excellent dinner, courtesy pf the Great Lakes!

Shoot, Gleshna, I guess your whole 'surf the Great Lakes to avoid shark attack' theory may be shot in the next couple years if an over inquisitive bull shark finds his way up there.

Think of the noteriety, though

Man first Whip comes outta nowhere then you....What's up Steve..

Well, here is a little something educational for you. If a bull shark wishes to find its way to Lake Michigan then it will need to learn how to portage....look it up.

In essence, what Gleshna is saying is that because of the numerous dams and flood control structures protecting the waterways into the Great Lakes (mainly the St. Lawrence River Control Structure, Diversion Dam, and the Ogoki Project Control Dam
