A bull shark was caught last week from the shore on South beach in Falmouth. .

Specialist,
Fish biologists have identified that shark as a Tiger, not a bullshark...dunno that it makes a whole lot of difference...both are labeled "very dangerous" to humans.
A couple of teens used to fish back in the 50s for sharks from the rocks at Falmouth Heights...theyd hook up a live eel, whack it on a rock to knock it out and put it on a slab of wood, then float it out about 200 yards on the outgoing tide...then they'd jerk it off the wood into the water which wuld revive the eel. The two boys then adjourned for a few beers at the old Casino Club leaving the rod jammed in the rocks...when they saw the rod go over they'd run down and fight the shark til they landed it. Cool, huh?
