Taking some change of light casts at this neat little spot. Throwing a Bugger pencil. Had a good heave out to the rip. Watching it sailing through the air. Lot of current so I gotta close the bail right when it hits the surface. I am watching it closely and right as it hits a seal pops up out of the water and takes it right off the skull

Well when I set the bail I was hooked up to a 100 + lber. I am laughing hysterically to myself when I realize I had better screw it down and bust him off before he spools me. I lay into it, tightening the drag and just as the rod doubles over I am off.

STILL WITH MY POPPER !

Got the plug, picked up 2 rats about 30" and am laughing still.

Who says seals aren't fun
