Saltwater Reported, documented, released immediately, etc. estimated 11ft length based off of distance between dock pylons. I know this is very rare but how rare exactly is it and any estimations on weight?

We catch a lot of lemon sharks, probably like 50% of our sharks are lemons. The rest are a mixture of blacktip bull and nurse sharks.

Good luck mate, looking for anything in particular?

thanks! i always hope for snapper, but lately it’s been mostly blue runner and sea bream.

i got a handful of yellowtail last week, but they’re all still a little too small.

and without fail, every single fucking time, i end up with at least one puffer. it never fails.
