Its not always food/prey related. My understanding of the Solana attack was that the victim somehow got between the mother GWS and its pup.

I'm not saying that this is what happened on this occasion but its not always because you look like a seal.

The attack was in the morning and based on the video, it looked like low-light, overcast/foggy conditions; prime GWS hunting conditions.

Bottom line, wrong place at the wrong time.
