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
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
