We had an epic battle with a good fish yesterday.
First the fish ran like hell peeling line until we had to turn around to catch up to it. After a good battle we got it to the side of the boat and a seal grabs it and heads for the bottom. We kept the boat on top of the seal until he finally had to come up for air. We positioned the boat over him so he had no where to go.[}
] He spat the fish out and the fight was on again. Then the seal grabs it again coming right out of the water with it but he drops it one more time. We horse it into the net and into the boat.[^] It was 18-20lb but wild[V]
Now here is a beautiful chrome fish basically dead from the battle and we have to release it.[B)]
My buddy is trying to revive it at the side of the boat and wham the seal comes out from under the boat and takes it right out of his hands.[:0] Scared the crap out of him
In the end we got a great fight from this fish and the seal got his meal. The only loser was the fish.
We had one other hit and that was it. Beauty day on the water and nice to get back to salmon fishing.
