The one
The one with the black tips is probaly a Spinner Shark.
I dont think the other one is a Thickskin because the dorsal fin looks too small. Not sure what it is tho .
Nice feed for you guys ..

School sharks
Thinking school sharks, definitely not thickskins--dorsal and pec fins too small.
Shame on you Russ, they must be cleaned as soon as you get them out of the water as the brown strip along the inside of the spine below the guts has to be romoved otherwise they taste of ammonia. All cutting the tail off does is bleed them

Brown strip
goes with all sharks, clean them and get rid of the strip as soon as you can, the longer it is in there the more ammonia taste goes through the flesh. Als when cleaning them it is important to flush out the hole that runs down the spine, any blood left in there goes off very quickly
You see some that have the idea that cutting the fins off will stop it happening but all that does is removing the handles and make it harder to carry and clean. Cutting the tail off is one of the best ways to bleed them but I prefer to cut straight acroos the back of the head, it kills them instantly and drops all the blood in one hit
The next one I get I am going to record the easiest and quickest way to clean and how to protect you knife edge at the same time. When profishing we would time each other on cleaning , removing spne and washing with deck hose, all in just under 2 minutes on a nearly 2 metre thickskin
