These photos came in a little late of our contest. But checkout this 8' bullshark:

Gulfster,
A family friend caught this bull shark off the Gandy Causeway a few days before hurricane Dennis hit. it was caught in less than 8 feet of water, wouldn't want to drive my car off the Gandy or the Howard Franklin Bridge anytime soon...

Sincerly,
Ryan Whitaker

Hi, I wanted to add these photos of my husband's surf board to your shark page.
He was surfing Dennis waves Sunday off Lee County, FL. He was just paddling into a wave when he saw the 7 foot bull shark coming for his hand. He pulled it away and the shark got the board instead.
