I'm well aware of what Lemons look like - both as pups & adults.
It's just Lucky?'s photos aren't clear enough to be 100% percent positive exactly which species it is. As for the 2nd Dorsal - it's hard to tell - because we don't have a good picture of it.
But the shape of caudal fin, shape of the head(in the bucket), coloration all suggest it's most likely a Lemon.

We didn't keep the shark. I don't know enough about keeping them so we let it go. It might be a lemon, thought it might be a baby nurse.
Go to know you released it. You did the right thing. Lemon Sharks aren't for people who have little knowledge of or room to keep large sharks.
But it's certainly not a Nurse. The shark in your photo has the wrong coloration & body shape for a Nurse. The shark in your photo has a classic requiem shark look - like a Lemon has.
