Shark Found In Lake Pontchartrain

If you're planning for some wet and wild fun on the water this summer, you might get more wild than you're looking for if you're headed to Lake Pontchartrain.

WWL in New Orleans reports that Covington resident Bo McCool had a close call with a 5 - foot bull shark while fishing in the lake.

'Something moved to my left and I looked over there and I heard something and looked down and there's this bull shark at my feet so I picked my feet up and screamed like a little girl," he said, "I'm not gonna lie. It scared the crap out of me.'

A local fishing charter caught the shark a few days later. Click the link above for more on this story, and be on the lookout for fins when you're out on the water!
