Growing up, I always called them sandsharks but not sure if they are the same thing or different. I know there is a dogfish and a spiny dogfish. I've heard sandsharks have teeth whereas dogfish do not.

The last "sandshark" I saw caught weighed about 350-400 pounds. That was "chicken man's" shark two weeks ago. I caught a "lemon" the same evening.
P.S. they do have teeth. Big knarly ones!
I don't think sandshark is a real species, I think sometimes it's the name people give sand tiger sharks. But mostly it's just a catch-all for the small sharks bottom fisherman catch.
