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?

Seawater is more like 32 ppt (high salinity) and isn’t composed of solely sodium chloride so sorry Charlie but not really

Oh I know, but for the home experiment’s sake I figured it was close enough. We’re not keeping corals here, just rusting out some hooks for giggles and shits.

Awww. But that’s my favorite pass-time.

Heh. Next time I go surf fishing I’ll bring some back and see if there really is a difference between the two when it comes to rusting. I love little projects like that.

Instant ocean from an aquarium store would be a more appropriate comparison… sorry didn’t mean to come off as condescending
