I think I had my first GWS incounter of LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You probably saw a juvenile GW. They are always around just not seen as often. If you've put in the time on the water your judgement call is what I'd go with. The responses that say "if it were a GWS then the seals would have left the area." clearly forget to take into consideration that GWS eat seals...so there is always going to be one unlucky dog out there in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a side note, this year in Seal Beach we had a seal wash a shore that had been attacked by what was estimated to be an 8-10 foot white he was too small to finish the job so he wound up only maiming it. It died from its wounds and the waves brought it in.
