Most surprising fish caught

[TiteLines]

While living in Seattle, me and a buddy were winter Blackmouth (Chinook) Salmon fishing by Blake Island (West of Seattle). The salmon were biting great that day. Suddenly, my rod went double and the fight was on with a Harbor Seal! He had come up behind my salmon and inhaled it, along with my double-hook squid rig. I fought him for 40-minutes until he finally chewed through my mainline. The bugger came up near the boat with my flasher still dangling out the corner of his mouth. I hope he learned his lesson, to not steal salmon from fisherman...really wanted that flasher back[mad]
