One question, how come you have cut the fins off the shark and left the guts in? Cutting the fins off doesn't do anything, you have to get the guts out asap especially the brown strip along the spine or very quickly it will start to get the ammonia taste through the flesh. You also need to flush the hole out from below its bum through the spine to its tail because the blood left in it goes off.
Cutting the tail off is one way to bleed them but it makes a mess with spray patterns all over the boat, cutting down through the spine behind the head kills it and bleeds it at the same time.

Other boat
We had two boats out that day and the sharks were caught on the other boat, I usually head, tail and gut as soon as I catch a shark
