After 3 hours on the water or so, I had to take a leak. By chance I look up and I see this seal bounding towards me. The seal disappears. I'm still trying to finish my business. And then I realize my rod's ripping.... I was freelining that 12" greenback. And I'm fumbling with everything and trying to get the rod unleashed and the snap's stuck. But then I finally get it free and try to set the hook, but go figure, I don't have anything on. And then a seal resurfaces 50' away. Could I have had a good fish on or was it probably just that seal stealing my bait?

Sounds like you got dogged.
