Mac, that pic is not the seal in the news, I grabbed that off the internet, I don't think harbor seals are that big, but maybe they are.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Seems most likely to be a white shark, though I understand that makos will whack seals when they get really big (the bluefish only serve as a snack at that point). I've seen very large makos right off Race Point in only ~15 feet of water, close enough to surfcasters to make them fill their waders if they knew.

I'm certainly no shark expert, but I was not aware that blue sharks would take a seal, even the really big blue sharks.

Ok, could be a harbor seal though. They can grow up to 250 or 300#s I believe and 6' long.

The tuna guys off Chatham have seen them ( GW's) numerous times this year off Crab, Great Hill and the Regal Sword. Someone had one come up in his spread just inside the BC Buoy last month.

Why even try.........
