| Description | The Potomac, fondly nicknamed the "Nation's River" because it flows through Washington, D.C., is known for its hazards and treacherous currents. But if you can navigate those, and slip past the politicians, there may be something else lurking in the water: big sharks.
Fisher Willy Dean caught an eight-foot shark in the Potomac River this week, NBC 4, a local television station, reported.
"Dean put out a net Monday at Cornfield Harbor in the Potomac three miles north of Point Lookout with hopes of catching cow-nosed rays for a Solomons Island Marina biologist. When he checked Monday night, everything seemed normal. But when he checked again Tuesday morning, he made a startling discovery," NBC 4 said.
"In the net was an eight-foot-long shark. He said it was a bull shark. According to National Geographic, experts consider them to be 'the most dangerous sharks in the world,'" NBC 4 added. (Read more about what Nat Geo says about bull sharks.)
