The point of the dorsal fin is obscured in the photo.
The caudal fin is almost completely obscured.
The pectoral fins are halfway obscured.
There is no information on how much it weighed or where it was caught.
On the little information present. We can definitely say its a Requiem shark.
Based on the thickness, shape of head, and size of eye; my best guess is that you have a Carcharhinus leucas.

from the look of the first dorsal and the glimpse of the secone I would agree with leaning towards Carcharhinus leucus
Where was the picture taken??

Hmm I think it's not a thresher, thresher has big round black eyes.
From a quick glance, it looks like a Bull Shark...

Identifying a shark by it's tail, dorsal fin, nose shape, I would say this shark is LUNCH!!
