Shooting a Bull Shark

[Capt Scotty]

I tried to post the video directly, but my skills would not allow it to work so here is a link to a video of some guys in Florida shooting a bull shark while fishing. Maybe someone else can jump in and pull it up where everyone can see...This stuff gives all of us a bad name...

I'm in NO WAY defending the actions - or laughter - but comments on the youtube video.....

"A 7 ft bull shark gets shot in the head after a 45 minute long fight. The bullet hit the line and the shark survived"

OMG! This is so illegal. I wonder if anyone has reported it. This gives fishermen and speardivers a bad name.

The use of powerheads, explosives, chemicals or the discharge of firearms into the water to kill or harvest marine life is prohibited in state waters.

There is no evidence to support the act occurred in state waters.

Fishermen generally do themselves in well enough on their own.... As I recall being circled well under 300' at speeds throwing a wake while anchored and a diver in the water this weekend to the cry's of "f#$k you - you don't own the site"

This is true, but it should be investigated. FWC has a site to report violations online. I sent them the link to the video. This just p***es me off.

Agree 100%

And with kids on the boat to boot - great lesson to teach them, not to mention shooting a gun at anything on the surface of the water risks the bullet coming back where you don't want it, even in this case.

What a dope
