Seals and Sea Lions. Thousands of them. I am thankful I don't fish and thankful that I don't like Salmon. Go to the mouth of any river or bay and watch the Seals and Sea Lions. One bite and throw the carcass. If they would eat them it would be better but the waste. All the crabs hang around the mouths to feast on the salmon too. Then can't catch them in traps. Father who was a comercial fisherman told me 50 years ago when they protected the seals and Sea Lions that the end was here for the Salmon. Too damn true!
