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?

No one knows “exactly” how rare this is caught of a dock haha, nor do I think anyone is pulling these things out and weighing em…

Fair point, I wasn’t sure if anyone had any estimations or anything. Always fun to know

A quick google says 200-5000 are left on the planet. So pretty ducking rare!!
