I'd love to be able to take a rifle on my boat with me and shoot all the seals who try to steal my fish.
I've had 10-12 pound yellowtail stolen by them bassards... not to mention if you fish with live bait, they come by and take it.
The last one was a really big bull, and he's likely still regretting that decision. He got away with a $15 lure, but it had 2 treble hooks on it, and one was stuck in his face, while the other was stuck in his neck, and the yellowtail was still attached to the lure, too. I got back all the line I could after fighting with him for 15 minutes. Brought him up alongside the boat, saw how bad he was hooked... and cut the line.
F***er.
