Thanks for the feedback guys. After reviewing a lot of photos of known lemon sharks, I am in agreement that this was a lemon shark.
One reason this was of particular interest is that even though we caught a small one, a much larger one (7-10 ft) cruised by in very shallow water with identical markings on its dorsal fin and tail. Kinda scary from a wading viewpoint.
We saw more sharks from the E end of Elmer's island than from any other shore fishing location in Louisiana. Duckman, if you want to chase sharks, this is probably a good place.
