Stan, there was a string of attacks back, I think in the 1930s, that killed some people. If I recall my readings correctly, the fish were big. I’ll have to dig around I haven’t looked at shark attacks in a while.
The story I’m trying to relocate was the attack and subsequent deaths of some teenagers at their favorite riverside swimming hole I can’t remember if it was on the south east coast, or if it was on the Mississippi River.
As I recall, the town ended up placing nets in the river trying to capture the critter that killed the kids, and I believe it was identified as a bull shark seven or 8 feet long,And several hundred pounds.
I may be conflating several attack stories and can’t quite put my finger on where I read that out yet.
