I had a 30# plus fish from the shore last week on a popper. A seal took it about 20 yards off shore. When I was walking the seal down the beach, hoping to get the fish, or at least my plug back, some kid goes, "wow, great fish man!". I'm thinking to myself, great fish nothing! it's in a seals mouth. Anyway, the fish is pretty big, and the seal actually let it go to take a gulp. I start reeling as fat as I can, as the fish gets close to the wash, I recognize that it definitely is Striper Cup worthy. Just as I start thinking I will be able to weigh in this fish, even with a big bite out of it's belly, I see a humungous wake with a dark shadow come racing into the surf towards my fish. He got it again! I lost my fish and my plug to that seal. That was definitely my best July fish by far. Other than that, a few small keepers and shorts and blues.

seals + plovers =
