Early loggers in the Puget Sound area used dogfish oil to lubricate the long steel blades of their crosscut saws. There was a small industry harvesting dogfish for their oil.
More corrosion protection than lube, there’s no moving parts and excess oil just makes sawdust cling and clump in your cut. And there was plenty of rain/moisture to cause corrosion
@@zackzittel7683 Both, really. A very light coat of oil on the blade reduces friction and binding as you saw. Yes, too much has it's own issues, you only need a very light coating, but the saw plate itself is the moving part.
Lots of people calling the fish Halibut, but I’m pretty sure we don’t have any halibut in the Puget Sound. We do, however, have multiple species of Sole, which i’m betting is what these are.
I swim in the Puget sound all the time , I used to think there wasn’t any sharks here until a six fin shark washed up in Friday Harbor. Then I read that they are very vicious. Only they tend to swim down really deeply.
@@UnderwaterFlix I imagine this trolling noise from boats greatly reduces the presence of larger aquatic animals from what we would see otherwise.

Not sure where that was taken but if you get down off the nisqually river delta there are tons of starry flounder and crabs down there. Kids can have a blast catching those flounder on a light rod using little rubber jigs, pile worms or even canned cocktail shrimp.
This is a great idea. I had bought a wired under water camera and it was black and white. No recording on it. Waste of time and money. This has a way better picture, and records and sound.

In ocean shores there was a seal washed ashore bitten in half a few years back so it seems that they are in vicinity and it’s very possible a GW could make it’s way to the Sound…. I recommend checking out the shark attack at the Columbia river mouth too
@@garciaizma retired aquarium worker said they saw one in 2002 near Point Defiance, Tacoma. Said the shark breached the water and came close to his boat. Guessing that’s the one you mentioned. A carcass also washed up on Vashon Island in the early 2000s.

@ourlifeinwashington4114 I have been wanting to go fishing there. Maybe it will be a future video.
I didn't think we had sharks.. what kinda shark is that?
@rabbitonthemoon we have a few kinds of sharks. This is a spiny dogfish. We also have Threshers, 6gill, and 7 gill sharks.
@UnderwaterFlix Oh cool.. I guess I thought it was too cold. Man that'd be amazing to see a Thresher.
@rabbitonthemoon yeah I'm still waiting for that, lol. I did get a 6gill shark on camera. The people at the aquarium estimated it was around 8ft long.
I didn't realize how aggressive flounder are.
@kentalanlee Yeah, they pretty much bit anything that moves in front of them.
Is that actual sound underwater? Noisy AF.
@@Trelnet yeah that's all the boats salmon fishing.
thank you that was cool
Woah! Can't believe the crabs went at it like that.
Dungeness and red rock crab don't like each other lol
One point for the escape

Lots of flat fish that appeared. I bet it was way more n view but they didn't move 💯💪🏾
@@boonz47 you can't even see them until they move.
