While I can't see the picture, if it wasn't a dogfish (above) then it may have been a Brown Shark. Fairly common on the south side...

At the size you state and where it was caught it was likely a Sandbar Shark also known as the "Thickskin shark" It is also commonly known as a "Brown Shark". Like Mike said Fairly common on the south side..

They are tasty however you need to break the law to find out now. Common bycatch with the fluke draggers/gillnetters which is why they are closed.
