Great way to get flipped by a Sea Lion. Don't risk getting you or your son hurt.

I was wondering about that myself when I saw that. I've never left my catch tethered in the water but I was curious if that is something most do? If not the dogs then a GWS looking for an easy meal had always deterred me.

It is not the Great Whites you have to worry about. They will not really bother much with small rockfish. The smaller sharks if they were hungry might go for them but if a Great White takes interest in you it would likely target the yak thinking it is a large bleeding mammal. It would take a large seabass both white or black to get a great white to really turn it's head. As has been constantly said it is the sea lions that have no issue going after your catch. But that is what the billie club is for
