SCOTLAND, Md. (CBSDC/AP) A Southern Maryland fisherman caught two bull sharks at the mouth of the Potomac River earlier this week.
John Willy Dean caught the 8-foot, male sharks weighing about 220 pounds each in nets on Tuesday near Point Lookout State Park at the tip of St. Mary s County. They were found about 200 yards from a spot where people were swimming. The feat comes three years after Dean caught the first bull shark recorded in the Potomac in 37 years.
