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.

Clapper Zapper, you might be thinking about a Great White that killed several people in Atlantic City NJ and a ways up a river there in the early 1916. There is a book and a movie about it called 12 Days of Terror. It's a good book, never saw the movie. Wiki article here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Shore_shark_attacks_of_1916
