I do not believe we are taking any meals away from the seals when we fish, there are plenty for both of us but they dominate the surfline and we lose expensive plugs so we whine about it.
i dunno orca are pretty smart.. i'm sure they are plenty aware of what was going on just like the seals. if ya notice they went from boat to boat. i'm sure they are a nuisance up there. if they could sustain them selves on small fish alone.. i bet they would be way worse than seals.. plus ya don't wanna be wading around them, they might decide to eat you instead.

but back to the vid.. if you watched it till the end.. one of the whales comes up right behind the boat and gives them a blast of spray. as if to say "haha" like when the seals play with yer fish right infront of you. sea mammals are all the same. lol.
