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?

Incredibly rare especially off of a dock. They are listed as critically endangered and although research has picked up in the past decade not a huge amount of research is available on them. Good catch! I just wonder how u got the hook out without losing a hand.
