I always have a hard time not seeing seals/sea lions like dogs. That didn’t do much to change my view.

the good humor was nice to see. Folks are rarely that verbally generous to the dolphins and sharks when they decide to play with your catch.

Thanks for the laugh.

Good video! Seals and sealions are bad about stealing your catch. They can really do a number on fish in a net :help:

To the last man, pretty much every commercial fisherman I know hates them. A couple friends and I had a run in with several of them while deer hunting 25+ years ago that scared the shit out of me, which is why I started to retreat to the cabin when it got close.

Took the wife and a buddy from Arizona to Seward for a little silver fishing. First time there this year so did not know what to expect. Decent but not great fishing but the weather was great.

I have said before my wife loves to fish. After catching one she reached into the net to get her hook loose and with the fish kicking she got a hook all the way through her thumb! Glad I had a good set of dikes to cut the hook off and good pliers to grap the hook and pull it through with. In case you do not know it is harder to pull a hook through skin than you might think. Learned my first aid kit could use a few more supplies. While pulling the hook the wife never whimpered a bit, I would have been laying on the deck crying :help: As soon as we got the bleeding stopped she was right back to fishing. That gal does like to fish :D

I would take a catch like that any day any day Fuzz. Your wife is definitely a fisher woman, a hook like that hurts like hell.

I would bet she was just angry she wasn't fishing while you were taking the hook out!

I told her what you said and she just laughed. Has not slowed her down at all. She is all excited for a halibut trip in the morning.
Went and got a tetanus shot today so all good for more fishing.
Tom she is a trooper when it comes to fishing. Only one trip did say uncle and it was dad blame lumpy that day.
VT Jeff I am thinking her and your wife would bond quite well if given the chance.
