Sharks stealing your fish off the Gulf Coast? You're not imagining it, and marine fisheries professor Marcus Drymon joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to explain exactly why it's happening and what you can do.
Marcus breaks down the science behind shark depredation, which species are most responsible (sandbar, bull, and blacktip), and why anglers have been dealing with more of it over the past 20 years. He also explains why healthy shark populations are actually a sign that the Gulf Coast fishery is doing well — and why that's a harder message to deliver to a fishing guide who just lost a red snapper to a shark.
