My partner made a seal cough up a keeper by running him over in his SmokerCraft with a jet. Scared the crap out of him, but didn't hurt him and he was back stealing fish in a half hour or so. They chased him for 10 minutes or so, and finally caught up to him, ran him over, coughed up the fish and the fish fought like heck. Once he landed it, there was not a mark on it. I saw the whole thing from my boat, it was hilarious!
