Louisiana Surf Fishing, Blacktip and Tope Sharks

  We got several small "Tope" sharks, at Fourchon Public Beach

The fin under the arrow is how you tell a Blacktip from a Tope Shark. That fin extends father towards the tail and the back half of it is pointed and not connected to the body. This is a juvenile and will get more gray coloring. The bottom photo is a Real Blacktip.
