Those sharks are a pain in the A$$. If you come off the spot a little bit thousands of those sharks will eat everything. You must have caught him offshore not many come inside 3 miles or at least i ahvent seen many.

Some people call them "cold water" sharks. When the water warms up some more, their numbers tend to decrease.

Well, if we each eat one every time we go out, we are bound to make a dent in their numbers.
It's the 'cudas biting my catch in half that makes me mad.

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.
For more details, search the site for my article "Tasty Shark from Bait to Plate."
Enjoy.
