He had a couple steps on him, and could have easily outrun. Not sure why he essentially threw the fish backwards. His slow friend, on the other hand might have made for a nice snack.
This just in. Animals frequently mark their territory and fight over it. Almost like how us monkeys claim land for ourselves then fight over arbitrary invisible borders. Nature does in fact care about property!
This kind of human behavior makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Why the need to mug with a dead fish? Why be so upset about losing one you have to try to snatch it from the mouth of a predator that could easily rip your arm out of its socket? This whole scene is idiotic.
I've seen sea lions grab people by their arms, legs, and one time on the butt, because some people toss small fish, bycatch, or guts and sea lions can't really tell the difference. The poor fucker who got grabbed on the bottom was taking a dump off the side of his fishing boat.
I'd love to hear in his own words how he expected that to go. Best case scenario, you get the fish back with a chunk ripped out of it. Worst case & most likely scenario, you get fucked up by a sea lion.
For those that don't think otherwise. Would you rather someone take your trophy fish/dinner and promote this bad behavior for the seal to future harassers.... or would you prefer a trip the hospital with multi-thousand dollar medical bill on the low end of a mauling bite from a seal 3 times your body weight?
So, as a man, first thing I'd do is drop kick the fish to distract the big seal. Then I'd get it in a headlock and lift it up and over my shoulders to give it a brain buster onto the pier, thus ensuring both the fish and everyone else involved is safe

Honestly, that experience caught on film is better then just a picture with a big fish.

Haha. At least they got it on video. Seems like they did well spearfishing.

This guy went in that sea lion's house and took his shit and then got mad when the sea lion took it back.

ConspiratorM
Where was he going to go? You can see the shore in the background. The guy was going the wrong way and it may have been a dead end pretty quick.
Detoc
Good point - for some reason it looked to me like the other end of the dock was the shore end.

Nice fish you got there. It would be a shame if you threw it right into my mouth.

Dude was on land... he had feet... Nobody's that inept.
ErgodicAnomaly
He's not on land my dude. You may not be inept, but your eyes sure are.
duffman3335
Land, as opposed to in the water. MD's WALKING, ain't he? Go split your MAMA'S hairs.
ErgodicAnomaly
You aren't catching my drift I guess. He's on a pier, those typically end on one end. And we can see he's running the wrong way.

What about the area of beach the beach master owns? Beach Masters Beach they call it

And anyone can take it away from the beach master at any time if he shows any sign of weakness

For some reason macho dipshits think that pictures of them holding a dead fish is the pinnacle of masculinity and also extremely attractive to women.
