Shark ID?

[gr_andrews]

I went fishing recently with my brother and I don’t know what I caught.
First time salt water fishing.
Late night dusk to dawn.
Caught on a chunk of cut bait.
He says “Sand shark” but i’m trying to find regs on keeping sharks (it got thrown back)
Can anyone help ID?
Roughly 18” long

Recreational Shore-Angler Possession Limits: It is unlawful for each angler to possess more than one (1) shark from the recreationally permitted species list per person per calendar day. One (1) Atlantic sharpnose and one (1) bonnethead may be possessed per person per calendar day, in addition to the one (1) shark from the recreationally permitted species list.

So from shore looks like 1 per day

G. It is unlawful to fish for or possess sharks (except spiny dogfish) from Coastal Waters for recreational purposes using hook and line gear with natural bait unless using a nonstainless steel, non-offset circle hook, regardless of tackle or lure configuration. Natural bait is defined as any living or dead organism (animal or plant) or parts thereof. Non-offset circle hook is defined as a hook with the point pointed perpendicularly back towards the shank and the point and barb are in the same plane as the shank. (See Diagrams)

H. It is unlawful for recreational fishermen to possess any shark without head, tail, and fins intact with the carcass through the point of landing. Anglers may still gut and bleed the carcass provided the tail is not removed. Filleting any shark is prohibited, until that shark is offloaded at the dock or on shore.
