Iraq Travel: The Next Hot Spot for Shark Fishing

Where: Nassiriya, Iraq
October 31, 2007 at 3:20 PM | by egw | 3 Comments

Attention! A new force is threatening the sovereignty of Iraq, and it's very, very hungry. A man fishing in a canal near the southern city of Nassiriya caught a six-foot-long shark who somehow eluded barriers and swam up the Euphrates River into what is known as the cradle of civilization.

Some Iraqis believe the shark was planted by occupying American forces to scare the locals. But that doesn't answer the question of how the shark got to Nassiriya in the first place. If Iraq is a little exotic for you, visit our fishing map to find some more traditional spots for landing a big catch on your next trip.

    Hello Sharkfighter, Is there any Giant stingray's in the Iraq rivers like the ones we catch in Thailand? Weve had some big ones this last year to over 200kg's from the Ban Pakong and Maeklong Rivers! http://www.fishsiam.com
