Atlantic Sharpnose shark. You can tell by the white spots. Good eating if bled to death by cutting around the tail 360 degrees down to the bone and roping them off in the water while they die. Then gut and ice them immediately. Steak them and skin the steaks when you get home. Soak the steaks 24 hours in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water at least once. Don't mix shark with other fish in the cooler. Also be aware of very strict bag and boat limits on sharks.

Enjoy.
