Put kayak in at Cady Park, Snohomish around 1700. Didn't go far, just upstream to other side of RR bridge. Threw metal for awhile and tried some jigging...no luck. Packed it in around 1830 and as I was paddling across the river, a couple of fish rolled near me so I grabbed to pole quick and flicked the jig (pink/pink with shrimp oil) out. Two twitches and fish on. He pulled the kayak across the river and was headed for some stumps/pylons. He finally tired of hauling my lard arse and I was getting him in close. Look like a Chum so I was positioning to release him when a freakin' sea lion snatched him. I'd seen them in the area for awhile, but didn't expect it'd come that close to the kayak. Pole did an Ugly stix demonstration, but I was quick enough to cut the line before damage. I rated this a four because it was the coolest non-fish catching experience I've had fishing!
