Wow. That is very interesting. I recall back in the late 70's here in Chattanooga that someone claimed to have caught an ocean fish below the dam. Seems unlikely but who knows. I've also heard that there is a lake in the south american that has a population of sharks in it. From what I understand, bull sharks can do really well in fresh water.

yep:

'Bull sharks have occasionally been seen in the Mississippi River as far north as St. Louis[9]. Even more rare, due to cooler waters, bull sharks have made their way up the Illinois River and into Lake Michigan such as an encounter off the coast of Chicago, Illinois[10]. In that incident the shark was verified by U. of Illinois biologists as being a female 6 feet 9 inches and weighing over 300 lbs.'

yea i have heard claims that a flounder was caught downtown somewhere im not sure when but heard it from alot of people


BUT!!!!! This was from last summer and it wound up being a species that didnt survive in fresh water and was found out that it had been placed there as a hoax!!
