hard to be sure - but doesn't look like a Bull Shark from that angle. The snout seems too long and the second dorsal fin a bit short. If you have the jaws, take a photo of the teeth on the top jaw about 4 or 5 teeth around from the middle/front. That will help narrow it down.
i'm thinking maybe Sandbar Whaler (edit: thickskin, as seasport called it, is another name for Sandbar Whaler)

When in the water the skin looked very pale, weighed in at 10.3kg
