Maryland fisherman 'accidentally' catches bull shark weighing 310-pounds: 'I've never seen one that big'

美国马里兰州的渔民偶然捕获了重达310磅的牛鲨，说：“我从来没见过这么大的。”

A Maryland fisherman may have snagged one of his biggest catches ever — and didn't even mean to.

一名马里兰州的渔民可能捕获了他这一生中其中一条最大的鲨鱼。

Larry “Boo” Pawley, 65, was fishing off Decer Point in St. Mary’s County on Monday when he managed to trap an 8.6-foot, 310-pound bull shark. The fisherman told the?Baltimore Sun?it wasn’t the first shark he caught, but it was definitely the most impressive one.
“I’ve been on the water for 42 years,” Powley told the newspaper. “I’ve never seen one that big.”

拉里.波利今年65岁，周一在圣玛丽县的Decer Point捕鱼，当时他设法捕获一只身长8.6英尺，体重为310磅的牛鲨。这名渔夫告诉《巴尔的摩太阳报》说：它不是他捕获的第一条鲨鱼，但绝对是最令他印象深刻的鲨鱼。
拉里.波利对这家报社说：“我已经出海42年了，但是我从来没看见过这么大的鲨鱼。” 

Maryland Department of Natural Resources posted a photo of Powley next to the massive shark on its?Facebook page?on Tuesday, said the commercial fisherman “accidentally” captured the shark.
Powley revealed the bull shark swam into a trap he had out.

马里兰州自然资源部周二在其“脸书”上发布了一张波利先生和他捕获的巨型鲨鱼在一起的照片，发文称：该商业渔民“意外地”捕获了鲨鱼。
波利先生透露向媒体透露：牛鲨游进了他设下的一个陷阱里。

Bull sharks are known to consume fish, sharks and rays in fresh and shallow waters. They are one of the meanest and most aggressive predators, but they help out fishermen because they feed on cownose rays, which eat crabs and oysters.

众所周知，牛鲨在淡水和浅水中捕食普通鱼类、鲨鱼和鳐鱼。他们是最阴险和最具侵略性的掠食者之一，但他们对渔民有帮助，因为他们捕食牛鼻魟，这种鳐鱼会吃掉螃蟹和牡蛎。

“[Cownose rays are the] worst predator you got in the bay,” he said. “Shows up just in time for the first shed of soft crabs.”

波利说：“牛鼻魟是你在海湾中遇到的最糟糕的掠食者，哪里有螃蟹哪里就有它的凶恶的身影。”

Powley said he threw the shark back into the water after snapping a picture with it. He added that under Maryland law he could have kept the fish, but said bull sharks weren’t worth much.

波利说：他在给自己和那条牛鲨拍张合照后，就把它扔回了海里。他补充说道：根据马里兰州法律，他是被允许捕鱼的，但是牛鲨不值几个钱。

“They’re only worth 50 cents a pound,” Pawley said.

波利说：“这种鱼每磅仅值50美分。”
