There you have it, you should not believe anything on the internet, and only believe half of what you actually see yourself.
Besides, a few dozen sharks wouldn't be too bad, they could get right to work on eating the Asian carp.

You will have to do the research but their are reports of a few in the Mississippi and the Ohio. Also a couple other saltwater species that can go up freshwater. Whether it's true or not it is within the realm of possibility.

I have caught a lot of giant catfish and snagged huge spoonbill. I know what a big freshwater fish feels like. I also have saltwater fished some and know what a decent saltwater fish feels like.
I was fishing on the Ohio River some years back near Mound City with a big chunk of shad...had something grab it and head out ...nearly spooled me with a penn 309 and 50 lb test before it cut me off...wasn't like anything I ever felt before in fresh water...who knows
This goes hand in hand with the Bigfoot stories. Until one is captured there will always be doubt.Quote:

Say "there is a shark in Kentucky lake" really slow and then think about it for a minute.. come on folks lol
I know their are sharks in rivers but I didn't think they would be that far from the ocean.

Lock through the boat canal...Bull Sharks are also known to inhabit shipping areas...It's a one in a million one even makes the turn up the Tennessee...but if it makes it that far and its intent on just constantly moving it's feasible it follows the current and locks through with a boat.Quote:

I believe the Shark at Olmstead is for real...have not heard anything else to the contrary. The conservation dept here caught the blue crab and documented the Mullet.So I don't think they are hoax.
Yes, there is the minute possibility that the shark could have "locked thru" ... I'll give you that. But this was merely a Facebook hoax, and has already been debunked by the KDFWR. Probably just some joker trying to get some attention !! :biggrinQuote:

Ky lake would be a huge smorgasbord for a Bull Shark. They would grow to humongous sizes because of the ability to chase and feast on an endless supply of Asian Carp. I wonder if they could put a dent in the carp population?
If they ever find their way into Ky lake, they would likely breed very well and become a sustainable population. This happens in fresh water around the globe.
Yesterday, I caught one bull shark, four flounder, three Red Snapper, one Cobia, and twelve Spanish Makerals, pretty good day out here on Kentucky Lake. Seen one Humpback Whale.
While pulling crankbaits yesterday, I reeled in a 15 foot great white shark!
Then later in the day, we hooked into the Loch Ness Monster, but she was too much for 6lb test line.
When I went to load up the boat, I was greeted in te parking lot by a Bigfoot!!
Have no idea what this world is coming to these days, all these silly bogus stories you hear about...

We've also been told the asian carp are not a problem. Fake News!!!
Bonjour!
Must have been a report from CNN
