What shark is this?

coyotekiller96 · 07-31-2009, 11:48 AM

I am from chicago, so I never fish the ocean but last week I was in southern california staying on a boat for comic con and decided to try out some fishing in the marina in san diego and caught a few sharks. I'm kinda wondering what they were.

also the next day I caught some kind of sting ray on a piece of packaged ham after I ran out of bait.

So any help with what kind of shark that is would be appreciated.

I think your shark may be the brown smooth-hound, Mustelus henlei. That species is very abundant in S Cal waters.
