  • A new video of a hammerhead shark swimming in the bay off San Luis Pass in Galveston County, TX is gaining millions of views on TikTok.
    According to Jason Schilling, he and his friends had been fishing last Monday morning near San Luis Pass. At some point, Jason says he heard some splashing near their spot just north of the San Luis Pass bridge. That's when Jason says he saw a large hammerhead shark swimming with its head above water.

    Haha don't expect to see sharks in the sea. This is common, many sharks and notably hammer head's often hunt in shallow water. Usually chasing sting rays.

    They are one of the largest sharks that will go into shallow water. They're made for it. I've dived coral gardens and watched hundreds of them school over head. Why anyone is surprised to see sharks in the ocean is beyond me. What isn't surprising is how stupid some fishermen are when they are pulling in fish IN the water and don't expect a predator to look for an easy meal.

      Yeah, you don't often see the big ones come into the shallows that close to shore - especially when there's human activity around. Galveston Bay is only about 10 ft deep in most places, so they have plenty of hunting ground without coming ashore.
