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?

How did you release it? I wouldn't want to leave a hook in such a rare fish, but ain't no way I'm going near that thing's face

Prob fishing with a hook that rusts out fast like a bronze I hook.

Maybe, but I doubt they went out expecting to catch this
