Reader Story: Megan Wood Catches a Seal at Port Renfrew Chris Wood and Emma Wood

Chris Wood and Megan Wood fishing the dock at Port Renfrew.

On the weekend I went fishing. I caught lots of fish. I even caught a 200-pound seal!!! I caught the fish but when I started to slowly reel it up, the seal came and got caught on my rod and then it got unstuck and it ate my fish.  It was sad I never got to see my fish. I love fishing. We were fishing in Port Renfrew. It was fun. We even saw the seal. It was cool!!!
