That pet is gonna eat a lot!!! You might have had a world record there... It looks larger than the current record of 5-foot, 263.8-pounds.

This was easy 9 or 10 foot, I didn't try to weigh it but I do know the tail was pretty heavy on its own :)

In the early 70's there was a shark fishing club that had tournaments here. (Capital City Shark Hunters)There were numerous 8-9 foot long 400 plus pound nurse sharks brought in.
