Is this an Atlantic Sharpnose shark?
Yep.
Holding him by the tail is a good way to get bitten, he can bend back and bite his tail if he wants too.
Put a death grip behind his head/jaws or use a good boga on him while he’s still in the water.
Also, make sure he’s good and tired before you attempt to pick him out of the water.

Very good advice there, if you want to keep your arm. It’s the end that bites that you need to secure.
