Aren't they just the cutest things?

Yeah they are so smart and evil that they have conspired to deprive you of your fish! It's a vast right flipper conspiracy :grin:
ad infinitum, ad nauseum

They are not cute.

This is cute:

You guys are all in denial. They are too cute!!! Their pudgy salmon-filled bellies, their aparently loving social behavior, their little whiskers, and those sad puppy dog eyes!

I'm surprised ACOE isn't marketing them as a tourist attraction. Come on up to Bonneville, folks! You don't need to drive all the way to Sealion caves to see these beautiful, playful creatures. You can watch them right here in your own back yard! We'll even sell you some herring and you can feed them at the fish ladder! Pack a lunch, grab the young ones and come on out! Leav the fishing rods at home, though.

The animals at sea lion caves are Steller sea lions. Its like the difference between grizzly & black bears or chinook and coho. These are all male california sea lions, at sea lion caves there are both male and female Steller sea lions.

I guess I must have diguised my sarcasm beyond recognition. It was a joke, man. But thanks for reminding us that YOU are our resident expert in sea lion identification. FWIW - I didn't say "come see the Steller Sealions." I merely used "sea lion" as a generic term...like, "come see the bears."

I don't know but I'm all for a catch and release archery hunt. Jennie may not like it and I'm truly sorry but I'll sling some arrows.

Is HBalczak's real name Jeff Smith?

Okay this has gotten out of hand! Look at the latest threats to your fish from these photos taken at Bonneville today!!!



Dang it! They're even going up the fish ladder now

Is HBalczak's real name Jeff Smith?


I'm not sure what his name is, but I think his Ifish name should be flipper.

They call him flipper, flipper, faster than lightning.

There is a thread on life in general that all HBalczak comments should now be posted on.

Thanks HB
