Mean A$$ sealion - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm a bit surprised they cut their net and helped the sealion off the ship. Thinking there must have been an observer on board. That was most likely a medium sized female Steller sea lion(average wt 580lbs). If it had been a bull(average wt 1200 lbs) it would have cleared the whole deck of those guys. Our little cali sea lions are bad enough. I'm with tsugg, did the canine even come down on the ship. It's obvious and intuitive that sea lions are bigger, faster, and stronger than humans, especially on the water. But few know, like that fisherman that got tossed, how much bigger, faster, and stronger they are. Great video. Mike

And keep your catch out of the water and in your hatches.
