GWS eating a seal - Point Bonita, 11Mar2017

My family and I took a trip to Point Bonita Lighthouse this weekend.  While hiking down to the lighthouse, my 8 yr old son spotted some "action" down below.  What I immediately saw was a large blood slick and intense thrashing.  We watched this play out for 30 min as the shark ripped the seal to shreds.  I managed to shoot a grainy cell phone video of some of the attack.  Overall, it was an amazing experience that I may never experience again - at least hopefully not while fishing.  Enjoy!

Even the grainy video make me have total respect for the landlord.

Just looks like birds trying to get a free meal from a seal. What shark?

Yea, one less furbag.

Oh they're in there that's for sure.

Was shore fishing in that cove just before the lighthouse one time and noticed a rotten smell looked up the beach and there was a fat dead 6' shark with big @$$ teeth, thought it was a Salmon Shark but just as easily could a been a "small" GW.

Theres no sharks after January, by February 1st they pack up and leave.  They arnt  back till june.  How am i supposed to dive marin county if they dont follow the schedule.

 Just a determined seagull colt.

Has anyone (besides Kirk Lombard) encountered a GWS while on the kayak? 

I have not had my kayak long enough to go out in the summertime. This sh*t makes me nervous.

Maybe don't fish that point?  I bought a sharkshield and they are ALMOST 100% effective.  I hope I never find out if it works, or they say, I wouldn't want to find out if it doesn't work.  You should check out the chart for ano nuevo.  Tomales has dinky amounts in comparison.

Hey - who invited 59110 to the party. It was down to just 33546 and then 59110 has to come around. They've tagged ALL of them right so we know where they are? 

Cheers,
Brad

   Ain't scared!!

Fitting that they used blood red to color the Ano graph...

And we just keep telling ourselves  they are all gone. 

I am sure you will end up seeing one on the drone.  That would be cool. 

Wow, what an amazing sight that must've been.
