Damn.. Never had them harass me at night, not even when hooping.

They can be scary man, big strong animals with very powerful jaws.

I had a weird experience in DP last summer. No sign of sea lions around and then all of a sudden one surfaced right under me and bumped the side of my kayak. It was not an aggressive move, almost like it didn't know I was there and then it got spooked and took off. Scared the s##t outta me.

Scary dude! I've had some get aggressive with me while surfing down in Baja. For some reason on a kayak that seems extra sketchy. Especially at night man. Glad you're all good!

That's no fun! I hate when something pops up unexpectedly. No seals in Florida, but have been startled a couple of times by big tarpons, manatees, and turtles at night, and rammed twice by hammerheads during the day. Thankfully never any physical damages just shocked nerves.

I love the red glowing eyes when you shine a light on them!
I think our fishery would be better with fewer sea dogs. At what point can we stop saving them from themselves? |
