Too bad about the fine? I think they should throw the book at him. No excuse for taking that shark. I have my doubts that he didn't know what it was. The original story implied that he was a somewhat experienced shark angler. I don't even target sharks and I can tell a Mako from a GW up close. AND I also know that GW are protected.
Having said that, I used to fish Hermosa pier & it would be pretty hard to tell from the rail what sort it was. An expert could probly tell a GW from Mako at that distance but I doubt I could. Tell ya what. IF I landed it I sure wouldna had my pic taken with it!
