The net says Finetooth Sharks are excellent eating, BUT to be legal in Texas they have to be 64 inches long (5 feet 4 inches).

Sharks and shark ID in Texas can get you in BIG trouble if you don't absolutely know what you are doing.

Yes FoldCatone is right and all the finetooth sharks I have caught have been about that size you caught and under the new 64" rule.
