I had been casting for awhile and felt the boat rock.. then heard a loud grunt...a large seal was half way into the boat/over the transom...I grabbed my gaff and tried to push the beast back... I was met with a series of grunts ...snorts and barks...ever notice how big their teeth are?... oh and their breath stinks too!... anyway after a few minutes of jousting the unwanted freeloader wiggled his way back overboard and disappeared into the night...I carry a lot of stuff on board...clean "shorts" aren't one of the items I carry...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
