US Edition'It Was a Mongo': Bull Shark Weighing More than 500 Pounds Caught Off the Coast of Alabama
- On May 19, 2025, David Stiller's team caught a massive bull shark off the coast of Mobile Bay, Alabama, estimated to be around 550 pounds.
- They targeted sharks miles offshore during the season when large, female bull sharks visit Mobile Bay to give birth to their pups.
- The team fought the shark for 10 minutes before pulling it in and then spent 20 more minutes getting it onboard, while knowing they had a large shark.
- Stiller mentioned that their lines were being heavily damaged, prompting Lew Childre to describe the shark as a "mongo," and they estimated its weight to be approximately 550 pounds.
- This catch might have set a new Alabama state record, but it would not count officially due to research protocols that prevent weighing samples.
