Description

I caught this Sandbar Shark while shark fishing in Destin Florida. It was one of 15 sandbar sharks we caught that day. It was caught at a merging spot of two water types where it was searching for bait fish that were gathered there. The shark's skin was like sandpaper and its teeth were very small and very sharp. The sandbar shark is listed as vulnerable according to National Aquarium. http://aqua.org/explore/animals/sandbar-shark
