Good luck on trying to catch one.........
I've attempted to help at least a dozen Sea Lions on Isla Saint George over the years. Those animals can run faster than most humans. And they don't even have legs! I did manage to run down two half grown ones on the low tide mud flats at Bahia Saint George and throw a towel over them then cut the net off with a filet knife. Found a big bull Sea Lion a few years back in his last death throes on the beach midway between PP and El Golfo with a Totoaba gill net cutting his throat. That was an idiotic decision as that SOB almost killed me, got a bite of my swim trunks and tossed me ten feet like a rag doll. I did have a very small starving Sea Lion pup come up to my boat begging me to cut off a plastic six pack top stuck on his nose cutting thru to the bone. He climbed up on my transom and let me gently cut it off with a pair of wire cutters. I won't even start with all of the sea birds that I've seen condemned to death with those six pack tops. I've had a half dozen Brown Pelicans come up to the boat with the very slim hope that a human might be able to help them out. Don't even want to think about what they do to the sea turtles.
TKT time anyone?
