Be warned, sharks are not just in the ocean, they're swimming in the Texas Guadalupe River too.

However, as the catch gets closer to short, you can see something much bigger. The fins popped up out of the water as they whipped around as it's reeled in. The fisherman finally reels in what is now identified as a bull shark.

BULL SHARKS COMMONLY FOUND IN TEXAS

These types of fish are typically seen off the Texas coast. However, it is not uncommon for them to swim up from the Gulf of Mexico. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Bull sharks can survive in fresh and salt water.

AN UNBELIEVABLE RECORD-BREAKING CATFISH

Texas waters are full of radical fish. Back in the summer of 2023, a fisherman caught the most insane, record-breaking fish in Texas.

Alessandro Biancardi hooked the catch of a lifetime, an unbelievable collasial 9 ft long catfish! Biancardi recalled the 40-minute fight between him and the catfish. At one point he desperately grabbed the fish by shoving his glove in its mouth.

However, the fish was too strong to be overpowered and Biacardi had to just wear the fish down in order to reel it in.
