ya Mac, if I lost a gary2 tiger to a seal, I'd lose it. it would not be pretty, just thinking about it makes me want to be extra cautious about where I will be tossing one.

tagger, I am lucky I did not break my rod doing that, if I had my 121-3m, I could have whipped that seals butt and had a chance at my plug maybe.

Larry, all this talk about the fishing has me thinking about how they have it over in Malaysia and the Phillipines areas, they overfished their inshore waters so badly, they keep having to go further and further out to sea and the catch is smaller and smaller, you'd think common sense would let them see they need conservation, but I guess they need 20-25" tunafish for food.

I see areas in our waters where it's getting bad, where flounder used to be but are completely fished out by the resident seals.
We as fishermen have to adapt to the conditions before us or get motivated as a group to bring some change.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
