I saw the video this morning, poor guy ended up getting pulled into the water by the sea lion. if I recall he said the sea lion bit his hand when it grabbed the YT, it pulled him out of the boat and held him under water for something like 20seconds before it finally let go

Not only that but he said it grabbed his foot while he was trying to swim to the surface.

That story is about 3 or more weeks old and it happened here in San Diego. I think it was at Quivira Basin and the local news station had the story. I guess when things get slow on the national level they re-hash the stories. When I'm landing or bleeding a yellow I'm always on the watch for a seal or shark coming up. You always have to be paying attention to your surroundings.

So I'm a newbie here still. Newbie to riding a kayak. Is this something I should be concerned about? a large sea lion could probably easily knock us over right? I apologize if I'm being too paranoid, but I think it's a legit question. If you are bleeding a yellow, and see a large seal or shark coming up, what do you do? do you just chuck that fish in the water and paddle away? haha.

I have a knife attached to my pfd and figure I'd lash at anything that attacks me, but still, we are in their element.

has anyone been "boarded" by a large sea lion or seal? what did you do to get them away?
