"With about a 6" fishing lure stuck on her mouth. She got ensnared with that."

*cue aweeees*

Everyone on that boat now knows about how wonderful seals are and how evil a fisherman can be.

How about a Maine Seal with a White Sluggo.

Make sure to use stainless, don't want those babys rusting out.

Can't wait to see the response when a seal tour witnesses a Great White feeding on those precious darlings!

already happened, although I don't remember if it was a great white but it was a shark. The horrified customers got quite the show.
reminds me of the time on the west coast, they saved some seal pup or something then released it to live it's life after it was better only to swim about 50 ft before a killer whale came out of nowhere and swallowed the poor little meal, I mean seal.

Those seal watch tours used to bring bird watchers out to the islands, now they go out watching the seals and actually feed them bread to get them close

Can I have my lure back?

Thanks to the capt for pointing out that the evil fisherman has hooks in the face of the cute helpless seal.Never mind he's making money off the saps who want to see an animal who is foreign to these waters and invading at such an alarming rate your head will spin.At which point is clubbing going to be reinstated and seal pelts paid from the local game warden ? Seal charters wtf are people that stupid they would pay to go see and invasive species ?

After I got through puking when that stupid tourist woman was rambling on about how "humbling it was to be there to see nature up close", and how the "naturalist" (who couldn't hold a job otherwise) exploits the ecological disaster of the Marine mammal protection act by bringing un-suspecting tourists to see the cute pinipeds who have wiped out the bait, small inshore flounder, juvenile cod, pollock and other fish that once thrived along Monomoy, I feel even more violated.

Monomoy was once the best, period, end of sentence, bass fishing on the entire east coast. Those of us who were priviledged to have experienced it from the surf will never get over what has happened to that place since the govt took it over completely.

I feel sad for all of you "newbies"younger guys, you never got a chance to see what real bass fishing was like in a place where the water was never munged up, schools of bait blackened the water and the bass were big racers that hit and fought like freight trains.

Places like Cuttyhunk, the RI shore and even Block couldn't hold a candle to Monomoy back in the days before the seals resurgence for consistent big bass fishing from May to November.

God dam shame.
