There is no doubt that the bottom picture is of a Lemon as for the top picture I think it is also a Lemon

The rounded tip dorsal,the snout and jagged teeth,the anal fin and tail -ALL indicate to a trained eye that this shark is a Sand Tiger,,,,crappy pic for sure though.

That's a tough one. The head and jaw shot may look decieving and you would say sand Tiger but it looks like a Lemon to me. The part that's confusing is the bent dorsal. Also, Sand Tigers are not common catches. My guess would be Lemon. Weird. The bad pic makes the body look like a Sand Tiger but I think it's a Lemon.

Lemon sharks do not commonly achieve the 9ft mark, sand tigers do, jsut thought i'd throw that into the mix

Just an average fisherman.

I disagree with that one my friend. There are plenty of Lemons out there over 9ft. No idea if that's a Lemon or a Sand Tiger though. The pic is bad.

God I wish I could say it's a sad tiger but truthfully judging by statistics it a more likely chance for it to be a lemon the extended teeth are common when catching a shark. To me it's a lemon due to the coloration of the shark. Judging by the little color u can see. Ya I mean the fin does look like a sand tiger a bit. But I really don't think there's any way of saying for sure it's gonna be all speculation unless there are more photos
