This is more about the sea lion that wasn't.

We were fishing SE Alaska in the '70s, pulled up a bag with about 200 fish and a mottled dark gray marine mammal. The skipper dumped the whole damn bag in the hatch instead of on deck.

His bonehead brother thinks it's a lost little baby sea lion, we try to tell him he's wrong, but he won't listen. It's a full grown harbor seal with 3/4" long teeth, needle sharp, and as soon as numbnuts reaches for it (he actually thinks he's gonna pick this 100lb. wad of toothy, writhing wet blubber up and lift it outta the hatch by himself) it turns on him and chases him around the fish hold in circles for about 30 seconds, growling viciously the whole time.

We were in hysterics, he was scared absolutely shiatless!

Had to pick the little bugger up in a brailer and dump him overboard. The seal, not numbnuts. If only.......
