 :smt006 Right on Brudda’s definitely gonna hit GS19? Wow where have the years gone!?!

Kieth haven’t posted any vids on Sledgendary Adventures since my pops died… but wished I would’ve had my go pro on today and last Friday…. Had a juvenile seal bump my yak trying to bite my trolling motor trying to bite me-crawled up on the back of my kayak multiple times!!!  I was trying to hit it with my fishing pole!!! I think I got a good whack on its head after its third attempt to bite the front of my kayak, where my trolling motor was leaning!!! man if I’d had a gun I’d of shot it!!! just kept coming back and back-jumped off my back!!! Insane!!! And today probably 12-14 foot great white chomping on a sea lion right out front off the rock-man I Cruised fast through there!,! Kept looking over my shoulder seeing if it was going to follow!!!  :smt010 :smt009 :smt044

So if anybody’s fishing Doran beach, watch yourself… I did go back last Friday with my knife and gaff and mini air horn because I had a couple of good bites-Halibut in the area next time F there I’ll fish, the bell bouy… :smt044

Tight lines, Bros… :smt044 :smt044 :smt044

Spike reported seeing a seal attack a kayaker.  Must have been you.  Good to hear you are still hitting the water and and staying sober.  Sorry for the loss of your dad.  I hope to see you on the water soon.
