[cue Jaws music] An eight-foot bull shark was caught in the Potomac River near St. Mary’s, Maryland yesterday.

Southern Maryland News Net reports that the big fish was nabbed last night just after 6 p.m. in fishing net near the area of Coltons Point. Murphy Brown (actual person, not the TV show character), whose father and grandfather caught the shark, told the Post that her family has never seen anything like this these parts of the Potomac. From the Post:

My dad said in his whole life — and he’s been fishing since he could walk — he’s never seen anything that big before,” she said. “It was mind blowing to be there and see it.

“You hear about other people making a big catch or you see it and you think, ‘wow,’ but then it happens to you,” she said. “It was pretty crazy.”

Brown said her father and grandfather first discovered the shark was caught in their fishing net Wednesday evening, but the tide was too high for them to do about it. When they returned the next evening, they found the shark was still there, but dead.

Though bull sharks in the Potomac are extremely rare, they’re not unprecedented. In 2013, two big bull sharks were caught in a nearby part of the Potomac River.
