found this picture on a website and thought the skins would make a cool looking bow backing, just out of curiosity anyone know what kind of fish this is? It just said "a big fish" caught in CA.

I am looking at this on my phone ...but that looks to be some type of reef shark to me....but this is an awfully small screen... O:)

the tail doesnt look sharkish though
it looks like one of them things that attach them selves to a shark and hitch hike
but it would be the granddaddy of them :o
they are some sweet looking skins
if it is a tyoe of shark,wouldnt the skin be to thick compared to snake,more like raw hide

Leopard shark Ryan.

I agree leapord shark, we catch them off the piers in Los Angeles area. Steve

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? ;)

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

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

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
