Sharks In Lake Cumberland!!

Freshwater Sharks

It's on the internet so it must be true!!:eek::eek:

The longest freshwater shark on record was found in Deep Creek Lake in the western panhandle of Maryland in 1983. It measured 9 feet 4 inches in length and weighed 512 pounds. The only other freshwater shark over 8 feet in length was found in Lake Cumberland, Kentucky in 2001. It was 8 feet 7 inches long and weighed 428 pounds and was thought to be responsible for all 3 shark attacks in that lake that summer.

Wow. Guess I'll stay in Green River Lake and Herrington Lake though I'm surprised Herrington hasn't had a shark attack or two.

I think I'd have to see something from KDFWR before I believed this.

I'm going to be on a houseboat soon so I will be doing some chumming to see if I can get pic's of the beast!

I believe it. Because the mountain lion spotted in Ashland last week told me so.

Then I'm a believer as well.

I just did a quick search of the KDFWR's website. Didn't find anything mentioned about freshwater sharks at all. The only mention I saw was when they said freshwater sturgeons have a "shark-like" body.

Never happened...

No way, sasquach love fresh water shark.

Sometimes a land shark gets hot and takes to the lake to cool off. This is probably the confusion

I read it on the internet so it has to be true.

On tangent here but there are definitely mountain lions at Lake Cumberland.
