It was an 8-foot 7-inch bull shark. Josh was using a 12 ott Penn Senator reel, and 130 pound monofilament line. He was using a stingray as bait.
According to Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, bull sharks in that area are quite common this time of year.
10 Connects photographed Josh -- and the shark in his pickup truck -- later that day driving on 4th Street in St. Petersburg.
