Thresher
Looking at the tail looks like a thresher shark, but I just seen your other post with more photos and it doesn't look like a thresher

Looks like a nurse
Elongated upper caudal lobe, pointy nose--did it fight like a big heavy lazy lump? Exact opposite of a mako
if you got look at it's mouth, it would be full of hooked, pointed teeth, rather like a wobby, but bigger.

I'd go nurse...
....that first dorsal set well back, only other possibilities might be lemon or sixgill, and not really the locale for those...

Tawny Nurse
Not the best of pics, even though I can't see the second dorsal it looks like a tawny nurse

Grey Nurse Shark
The pointed snout says Grey Nurse to me. Tawnies have a square snout.
But, as others have said, not the best pics.
