I thought I read of someone on this site getting bit on the leg while dangling their legs overboard. There was a pic and it was a pretty good bite to the calf.
I managed to hook one while fly lining a live mack three weeks ago off La Jolla in a Tandem Island. At first I thought he was trying to steal a fish that I had caught, then realized he was the catch. He surfaced 30 yards away screaming like hell. Another seal sped to his rescue while my wife was encouraging me to cut the line. I contemplated removing the hook from his mouth but worried he may attack if I had him that close. He looked to be bigger than I am. Got him to within 4 feet and cut the line. Still not sure how I should have handled it? |

^perfect. Its all you can do. Most just thumb the spool and bust them off.
Its concerning the number of elephant seals around. Im surprised there arent more white shark sightings/encounters.
