shark ID

HEY FELLAS
a while ago i caught a 5 ft shark off warnbro beach whilst tailor fishing (suprising i know!!). it had black tips on its dorsal and tail fins and therefore i thought it was obviously a black tip reef shark, untill the other day when i was looking through an ID book i saw a "long nosed grey shark" its description fit my shark quite closely but im not too sure. it did have quite a long nose and now i think of it BTRsharks are more of a northern species, so if anyone has any suggestions, dont hesitate.

Blacktips...
...we hooked two last year- one near the Club Marine fad and the other on the southside of Rotto, so yeah, they aren't exactly unheard of in metro waters!
