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.

Recetly someon cought a Mako off Shore near Mexico/Texas that is 10.5 feet long. Is small for Mako standards copmpared to those 17+ feet off the Australia coast, but still big boy for this area.
