So with some research it seems that shark is a Dusky.

Looks like a great time, and a lingering pucker factor with the sharks...wowzers!

That trip does not suck. I could only imagine a tuna like that on the yak

I'd say either a Dusky or Bronze Whaler. If you have a pic with the tip of the tail, that would help. If it is a Dusky it's a big one and probably almost as old as you are.

Great trip Jim just amazing!

I got as close to a Bronze Whaler in New Zealand as I ever want.

Pretty certain this was a Dusky after looking at some of the underwater video.

That'll get your heart going. Ha Ha

They are not as thick in the Gulf as they are down there but there are some around offshore. Personally I always thought B-whalers had a longer snout, never caught one that I know of, but always heard they are hard to tell apart from a Dusky. You've got balls fishing behind shrimpers in a yak. I've fished them from skiffs and the sharks can be thick.
