Seals on the other hand learn where we fish, are able to pop their heads up and see us with our rods on the beach and then wait for us to hookup and go after it by sensing where the struggling fish is, once they see a hooked bass, it's toast. if it's a bluefish, atleast you have half a chance to reel it in since they are more streamlined and smaller so you can pop them out of the water away from the seals. 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.
