Fishermen finds angry sea lion in net

Chaos ensues as the men turn large pinniped loose on the deck; man is flung like a ragdoll, and dog gets too close for comfort before mammal is coaxed off boat.

A commercial fisherman aboard a foreign vessel received quite a surprise when they discovered a large and angry sea lion in their net.

In the accompanying footage, which began to circulate on the Internet on Tuesday, one of the fishermen, while trying to open the net to release the sea lion, is grabbed by the sleeve and flung judo-style across the deck

The fishermen give the sea lion a wide berth after that happens, while trying to figure out what to do, but a dog rushes in and receives a warning nip by the giant mammal.

The sea lion, for whatever reason, is reluctant to leave its new pals and their boat full of fish.

Ultimately, however, one of the fishermen grabs a powerful hose and uses it to persuade the animal to the edge of the deck and, presumably, off the boat.

This undoubtedly is not the first time a sea lion has been hauled up in a net.

Sea lions are voracious predators and they’re known to swim into nets full of fish as the nets are being closed, devouring as many fish as possible, and rushing out of the net just before it’s too late.

This particular sea lion, which does not look to have missed many meals, must have merely gotten careless.

100 Armed Mythical Sea Creature found in Singapore

A mythical Sea Creature With 100 Arms Caught By a 54 year old Avid fisherman

A Singapore fisherman, Ong Han Boon, is trying to identify an unusual sea creature he reeled in with up to 100 tentacle-like appendages.

Ong Han Boon, 54, said he caught the strange creature while fishing for lunch recently on the island of Sentosa and he was "completely flummoxed" by the animal he found on the other end of his line.
The avid fisherman caught this mysterious sea creature at his favourite fishing spot on the island Sentosa. And thinks that it’s not even from this world, claiming that it’s an alien or mutant.

"I've had quite a few odd things from come out of the ocean but I have never seen anything like this before in my life. It had all these arms waving around," Boon said.
He said: “I spotted the line going up and down, and feeling a bit peckish I got quite excited as I hauled it in. But when I pulled it out of the water I was completely flummoxed by what I was looking at.

I’ve had quite a few odd things from come out of the ocean but I have never seen anything like this before in my life. It had all these arms waving around. I thought it looked like an alien or some kind of mutant.”

The unknown species resembles an octopus but appears to have up to 100 moving tentacle-like arms, however, so far, no one has been able to identify the creature. It’s not the first time a strange sea creature has been spotted.
