I for one have never had a fish stolen by a sea lion but would find it pretty funny if it happened. It's just a fish guys and it adds to the adventure. You mean you honestly did not laugh you arse off when that happened. I would have been in the bottom of the boat rolling with laughter. Fishing is only what you make of it, so have fun.

My buddy fishes in Florida and has had Crocks take his red fish they can go 30 miles an hours running on the surface of the water using the tale as a motor. Now that would be cool to see.
