half a catfish in CIW

[craige1983]

I was fishing CIW down near the golf course the other day for bass and come along half an eel tailed catfish floating, it looked pretty fresh and would have been a 40cm plus fish, at first i thought eel but the bite was to clean to be an eel so my next guess is bullshark, I'll try to upload pics.

could have been a dolphin but i am not sure if they bite things clean or not, plus i dont know CIW so i could be way off haha

Lock in B thanks Eddie. Its bitten off in textbook bullshark fashion, right behind the spines.

CIW is a locked canal, so if a dolphin was spotted in there there would be a full blown seaworld rescue. Sharks on the other hand can sneak in through the locks a s boats come and go, and can live in fresh indefinitely

or some dude only wanted the back half for crab bait

Couldn't have happened to a nicer Catfish

Ive also seen this in clear island waters my guess would also be a bull shark.Theres been a couple of times ive been fishing in the broadwater and have seen hundreds of catfish heads just floating around. It is a bit odd though everyone i seen was bitten in half exactly the same way.
