High tides from the solar eclipse broke Cooke Aquaculture's salmon nets off the coast of Washington, accidentally releasing 305,000 Atlantic salmon into the water. The salmon pen had about 3 million pounds of salmon when it broke Saturday, according to the Seattle Times.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) urged the public to catch as many as possible, adding they need a fishing license, but don't need to record the fish and there are no bag limits, according to the news site.
