Not as good as the seal on the west coast, I believe Vancouver, that was rehabilitated and within seconds of being released into the wild was eaten by a killer whale.

“... killer whale.”

They are, in fact, dolphins.

I was out on a boat fishing for salmon with a friend in the Gastineau Channel (think Juneau) when I reached over the transom of the boat to help bring a salmon my buddy had on the line. This was mid 1980’s...

I was reaching down with my right hand to grab the line ‘SNAP’ went the jaws of an Orca just 24 inches or so from my hand.

The salmon was gone, I immediately popped upright like Roy Scheider in ‘Jaws’ when he says: ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat.’

A shark would have taken my hand...
