>>1294023I hooked an adult Atlantic grey seal on a Sidewinder lure from my kayak last weekend. It's not exactly a drama, the weight and power of them soon snaps the line or the leader knot. If you've never had one surface alongside of you, they can be 8' long and 500lbs+. They're also used to swallowing whole fish that have spines and barbs. Worst danger I've had from a seal was a pup climbing on my kayak after a mackerel I'd caught. I gave it the mackerel.
Pic related is me with something else I caught last weekend.
