Caribbean Jake May 29, 2007 Share May 29, 2007 Angler Pulls In Texas State Record Bull Shark: 512 Pounds, 9 Feet Long http://www.underwatertimes.com/news.php?ar..._id=10164052839 Underwatertimes.com News Service Port Aransas, Texas (May 25, 2007 13:24 EST) A new state record bull shark was caught in Aransas Bay last week by Randall Rickerson of Corpus Christi. The previous state record was a 508-pound shark caught in the Gulf. This one, caught on Friday, May 18, weighed in at 513 pounds and was nine feet long. Rickerson reportedly had a two hour and 10 minute fight to bring it in and then it took 2-1/2 hours to tow in the boat and shark. The big catch was stored in the Fisherman's Wharf walk-in cooler until a scale big enough could be brought over to weigh it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
