## Caption

A team of four tournament anglers caught what turned out to be a potential new state-record bull shark that weighed nearly 500 pounds.

Alabama’s current state record bull shark weighed 448 pounds 4 ounces, and was caught in June 2015 by Jeff Moore of Birmingham. Bowyer’s nearly 500 pounder bull shark should easily outstrip Moore’s 2015 catch, though it must be officially accepted by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources before it becomes a state record. After the shark was weighed and positively identified as a bull, they opened the fish’s belly and found large chunks of a blacktip shark that weighed an estimated 40 pounds.
