Default Dusky shark?

Caught in the channel at the tip of the hook in 60' of water. Cooler in picture is 36", so maybe 4' shark.

On the Dusky the leading edge of the dorsal fin is behind the pectoral fin. The second dorsal fin is short and elongated.

Ok, thanks guys.

So this is like some freaky overgrown dogfish?

I had no idea they get this big. Oh well, it was an adventure, as they say.
