The Dorsal Fin

A quick video follow-up on the guy driving around with a bull shark carcass in his pick-up truck in St. Petersburg. According to WTSP-10, Josh Lipert drove the shark to Gandy Beach and “carved it into steaks, which he gave to friends.” Mmmmm, bull shark steaks. Nom nom nom. (Wait, BULL SHARK steaks? Seriously? Note to my friends: please don’t ever give me bull shark steaks.)

Lipert kept the jaws as a “souvenir” (aka trophy).

Chalk this up to another case of “any story with a shark in it must be worth reporting.”

A St. Petersburg man made the news by driving around with the carcass of a bull shark in the back of his pickup truck this weekend. According to WTSP-10, Josh Lipert of St. Petersburg, caught the 8.5′ bull shark around 2:00 on Saturday morning and was spotted later in the day driving with the shark’s carcass in the bed of his truck by a photojournalist who snapped a photo of the dead shark, which somehow turned into this “news story.”
