Unlucky man’s trophy fish stolen by sharks


If anyone missed the final five minutes of last night’s Game of Thrones, then (SPOILER ALERT) this video of two bull sharks absolutely decimating a tarpon should fill in as a pretty good recap. The tarpon was being pulled in by a fisherman when the two sharks had other ideas.  (Warning: there’s blood.)
A tarpon is a large fish that can grow from five to eight feet in length and can weigh from 80 to 280 pounds. Bull sharks are a little bigger; their average length is around eight feet, and typically weigh between 200 and 300 pounds. Bull sharks, as this video demonstrates, are just a lot meaner than tarpon. See? We learned something here today.
