Grew up on the salt water but this weekend was a first. My wife and I were crabbing and coon shrimping and had my 8 pots finally off the boat. PS I need a bigger boat. So it was nice out and wife wanted to go for a ride into Olympia's port while the pots soaked. When we left we were running about 25 mph and a seal pops up in front of us, looks at me and doesn't move. This takes only a few seconds and slam slam he hits about mid way under my boat and we hear two quick thugs on the boat and then the final.....the 150 Suzuki hits him and I can feel it thru the throttle. WTF? Never had a seal not take off in milliseconds and this one actually popped up and looked me and whammoo. My wife about crapped her pants and said do you think he is alive and I said no, once I knew the outdrive hit him I figured he was crab bait. I know they aren't the smartest, We hooked two this year on jigs up in neah bay while sea bass fishing. I hope PETA doesn't come after me.
Maybe don't post about it on an open forum? :twocents:

I know a good joke about damaged or "ruptured" seals. Not sure it's clean though.

One more thing, according to proper forum etiquette, you should also post pictures of the coons and crabs if you post pics of pots. It's just the right thing to do.
Agreed. Protocol is protocol.

It was already dead. In fact, it died from a breach birth as I pulled the remains of the pup out of it. I am/was the Marine Mammal Stranding Network's person to contact for reports of seals in inaccessible locations in the eastern San Juans.

That could not have smelled great.

Our descriptive categories for carcasses are Dead Fresh, Dead Stinky, and Dead Ugly.... Fortunately, she was relatively Dead Fresh.
I cut the lower jaw off of a Steller Sea Lion once and swung by my neighbor's for a chat on the way home. Within 15 minutes, I had four vultures circling my truck bed looking for the smelly thing, that one was Dead Ugly.
