You're right... seal.

From my book of True Fish Tales :)

Here's a video of a polar bear underwater. They can stay under for up to two minutes. He's gorgeous, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvmUBDsdyW8

While fishing in Manzinillo I actually caught some sort of sea duck that dove down to get the squid that I was trolling for sailfish with. The hook didn't get him but he got all tangled in the line. I had the reel it in and cut him free.

:lol: that and it's probably been a while since you've seen your last Polar Bear...

A buddy of mine just got back from Isla Mujeres ( he stays Jan - Apr ) last Sunday..
He caught 3 sailfish!! ... Oh I would love ta land a giant sportfish!!

AND .....have someone along to video tape it!! I'm so glad they invented sunblock. I can actually go fishing in the ocean now without burning to a crisp! That ocean reflection used to just fry me.

That was probably a cormorant. They call them "ducks" in México because of the way they fly. They are definitely opportunistic feeders. Lizzy

Yea, the only ones I've seen were on TV. I think most of them drink Coke..., or maybe some other beverage I'm not fond of.

Have you ever noticed on those tv fishing shows, the weather is different in almost every shot... I bet they spent a month filming an episode and end it by saying " that was a great afternoons fishing Charlie " :)

You're right! Not only that. They couldn't possibley catch the "big one" every time they go out. I don't watch them often.
