Timo:
Steve, If you can catch them, then I'd say you might should save some of the skins, as I know of a few on here that would trade you out of them? ;)

El Destructo:
Now that I am Home on a 22 inch Screen...definitely a Leopard Shark...and the Tail looks exactly Sharklike for a Reef or Sand Shark...which the Leopard is

Ryano:
Ya, is the skin very thick on one Steve? Looks like it would be a beautiful backing.  :)

Badger:
  I will keep an eye out for them, I don't make as many trips to piers as I used to but I generaly see one ortwo a year in someones bag. My brother caugght one about 5 1/2 ft long once. Not sure how big they can get but that was about the biggest I had seen. Steve

skyarrow:
indeed that is a leopard shark, The leopard shark (Triakis semifasciata) is a species of houndshark, family Triakidae, found along the Pacific coast of North America from the U.S. state of Oregon to Mazatlán in Mexico. Typically measuring 1.2–1.5 m (3.9–4.9 ft) long. wish we had them here in texas thats a perty one  ohhwell we have all of the other types of sharks lol  ;D 

here is some info on what to use to catch them when u go Badger

 Large schools of leopard sharks are a common sight in bays and estuaries, swimming over sandy or muddy flats or rock-strewn areas near kelp beds and reefs. They are most common near the coast, in water less than 4 m (13 ft) deep.

Active-swimming predators, groups of leopard sharks often follow the tide onto intertidal mudflats to forage for food, mainly clams, spoon worms, crabs, shrimp, bony fish, and fish eggs.

if you fish when the tide is moving you will definitely catch one  ;) i would rig out a mousetrap style set up to catch them they are a small shark and you would not need a massive set up to catch them GL and hope to see a report on a shark in the future
