Ok so I know I'm not the only one.. but when I was told as a kid that there weren't sharks in the lake, I believed it. Now I'm not too sure. I know salt water sharks couldn't survive because lakes have fresh water. But aren't there fresh water sharks that could be roaming in lakes? Let's not just stop at sharks.. are there any dangerous fish? ie. angler fish, huge 7 foot long catfish, eels, etc.

Bull sharks can be in fresh waters

" They have even been known to travel as far up as Indiana in the Ohio River and Illinois in the Mississippi River, although there have been few recorded attacks. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many attacks attributed to other species.[1] However, bull sharks are not true freshwater sharks (unlike the river sharks of the genus Glyphis)."

they grow up to 11 feet
