Help with shark ID

Was fishing this morning with my son and he hooked and leadered this beast. Can anyone help with ID? It was approx 7 ft long and husky!

Looks like a lemon shark to me…but i’m not a shark expert
relatively large pectoral fins, Dorsal fin set far back, small eyes, short snout.

You’re the one with the DNR shirt on… looks like a lemon.

Thanks. I looked online and concur, definitely a lemon!

Know this.

Peapod will be along shortly to berate you about wearing that hat while soaking bait…just sayin.

On an side note, when are you taking me fishing?

Yeah, but that’s the first cut or bait I’ve used in about a year. Except 2 days ago :0 Maybe PP will cut me some slack(?)

I owe you a trip, let’s plan one soon. Will send you a PM

I know exactly what kind of shark that isn’t.

It’s not the shark that killed Chrissy Watkins. And it’s not the one that killed Alex Kitner.

The bite radius isn’t right

Soooooo… you are 12 feet and XXHusky? :smiley:

In case anyone missed it. :smiley: (just kidding)

It’s called perspective. Kinda like when people push a fish to make it look big, but opposite. Duh!
