Caught a seal in Scortons Creek. The nearby fishermen were having a ball catching large schoolies and wanting to get in on the act, I grabbed my jigging rod and put a small rubber shad on a small jighead. I cast it into the stream and it was immediately grabbed. It stopped dead and I thought I had a tree stump or something on the bottom. When haulin back to see if it would move, it gave a bit and I thought it seemed like a huge group of weeds. Because it was moving I kept hauling and when he was about 25 feet from the mud bank he raised his ugly head out and eyeballed me. I kept tugging and when he was almost to the bank, I called another guy over to give me a hand. I gave him my knife and told him to cut the line when he saw my leader. When the seal showed he almost had a stroke. He cut the line and ran like he... He wasn't aware of the seal being hooked.
