Some years ago as I fished along Nauset I came upon 4 or 5 racks from short fish. My first reaction was who the heck are the SOB's filleting shorts. When I looked closely at the racks I realized that the flesh hadn't been filleted with a knife but appeared to have been chewed. It was in an area that I had been seeing seals and the only thing I could surmise was that the seals hang around waiting for you to release fish. The tired fish swims off slowly and the seal grabs an easy meal for himself.
Now if I see seals and am into fish. I limit my catch and move to another spot.
