Night of the Killer Seal!!!

I'm lucky to be alive after an evil viscious killer seal stalked me during a trip to Hurst! Well, ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it put the heebie jeebies up me!

[@silverbob999]

would love a demo on the loop rig please,another good vid

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

No probs mate, will get one done. Thanks for watching 👍

[@vinvu9978]

I think I am the first one to watch this vid 😂, it’s lovely to see you doing more videos recently.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thanks for being my first 😘

[@JackMeredith1995]

I second that! Great to see regular videos mate 👍

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

@jackmeredith7335 thanks bud. Luckily I survived the murderous seal, so I live another day to make more videos...

[@johnycarper1]

Remember sat down Tuckton catching roach and a seal pop its head up ,just looked at me for about 30 seconds and i'm sure it rolled its eyes to heaven and swam off.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

🤣 they probably look at us human anglers and think "pffft, amateurs!".

[@johnycarper1]

Definitely in my case 😆

[@chrishale6190]

Thanks tom enjoyed loving the killer seal 😅 Would love a demo on the loop rig also cheers 👍

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

No probs mate. Thanks for watching.

[@pauldavis3343]

Hi Tom great video I'll keep an eye for the kiĺer seal when I'm down the bank on friday😅 stay safe and tight lines

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

You be careful down there bud, he had a nasty glint in his eye.

[@andycollings4302]

Collective terms for seals. Common ones are pod or herd. There is also a harem or a bob. A Bob of seals sounds right. In the 60's I use to fish Hurst Castle with my brother near the point. There use to be half of an upturned boat there. All we caught were flounders. It's so different at Hurst now, especially right of the old stubby pier. It was known the hole.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

The hole has changed so much just in the last year! There's a new sand bar there now! I like a bob of seals, that's a perfect word for them.

[@ironix1]

Well done on the 5K walk. Did you use a barrow, box or rucksack, Tom?

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

I use a Tronixpro Beach Trolley. Great bit of kit.

[@johnhitchiner8598]

Hi Tom Definitely like to see you tie and Portsmouth loop rig Good video by the way

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Hi John. I'll get that video done soon mate 👍

[@simonwatkins7482]

Great video Tom, from memory a group of seals is called a Club

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

I needed a club for self defence I think! 🤣

[@konstantinosferko]

Come on don't complain Tom. At least you had good company 🤣🤣🤣 tight lines bud 🎣👊💪

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

The conversation was better than usual I guess. 🤣🤣

[@julianevans6823]

A herd or a pod is the collective noun for seals.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thank you mate, I forgot to look it up!

[@tommoore.8947]

Loved the thumbnail and a great video as always. Id be interested in the loop rig video, especially with any difference in length you have between the snoods. As i see fhenidd videomwith 3 foot bottom snoods, 18 inch top snoods and I'm convinced they'll tangle.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

No probs mate. I'll do a video soon.

[@tommoore.8947]

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 cheers mate

[@davidschofield9620]

Funny as hell Tom love the face about the seal lol lucky pink hat again 😊

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Funny?? It was bloody terrifying! 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching as always mate.

[@llewellynrose1093]

Short sharp and exciting little Sesh, good work Tom 👏 🎣

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thanks boss. VAR have reviewed it, though, and decided the seal was offside.

[@llewellynrose1093]

🤣🤣🤣

[@leightongroves1509]

Cracking video mate 👌 👍

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thanks mate 😁

[@Harmergeddonsurf]

We were anchored up there just a week ago waiting for the tide to turn and were also pestered by a seal, possibly the same one.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Could well be the same one, was he also a knife wielding evil maniac seal?

[@Harmergeddonsurf]

no this one had a spearfishing gun so perhaps his bigger brother@@christchurchanglingcentre5428

[@ianhooper3577]

Great video again mate 🎣👍

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thanks mate 😁

[@paulhowe197]

Always enjoy your content Tom. Without wishing to be a doom monger, seal numbers in the Solent are increasing so something we need to get used to. I regularly get hissed at by a big dog otter when I’m night fishing for mullet in Christchurch harbour. He’s all talk (or hiss) though. He soon hisses off if you stare him down.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Yeah, I've definitely seen more in the last few years than I have previously. I don't mind to be honest, quite like seeing them.

[@MrPaul0123]

Well done on the Poutus Pouticus. I don't know what a Pompey rig is, so yeah I'd like to see you make one. Thanks for posting the Vid.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Poutus Pouticus. Love that!!! 🤣🤣

[@stephenwilkinson4214]

Cheers Tom, that seal was definitely not happy with you and cute and all as they are they have been known to attack humans, hope you made it back intact mate 😁 you take care mate 👍🎣🎣

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Hey mate. I was keeping an eye on him as much as possible. He was a big angry fella! If he came ashore, I was out of there!!!

[@steveriggsartandanimation8473]

Great show Tom, as for the Pompey Loop Rig; yes please....

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Will do bud. I'll get that filmed when the weather's too crap to go fishing...

[@rickphillips5098]

Is a seal a good sign that there are lots off fish about ?

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Well, I guess they're not going to frequent areas where there's no food. That's a good positive spin on the situation, mate 👍

[@rickphillips5098]

Or is it a negative that seals are moving to areas where they have not been frequent before ! Also today there are reports off tuna chasing garfish in entrance off Poole harbour! We knew they were down Falmouth way ! Exciting times may be ahead

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Absolutely. We had a few tuna sightings last year, but this year we've had regular sightings all the way along to Hengistbury over the last month. Very exciting indeed!

[@colin8557]

Top stuff as always Tom

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

Thanks Colin.

[@flamintasty]

That was a navy seal, you can tell by the fact he’s in the water. He could kill you with a strand of that horrible red weed. They train with the SAS, only the SAS are better!!. So, not only have I assumed ‘his’ gender, I’ve also upset your American viewers 😂 I didn’t expect to see a hound come out of there though.

[@christchurchanglingcentre5428]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Outstanding mate. Thank you. It's a great mark for hounds, and stingers. Most people just can't be bothered to walk that far!

[@flamintasty]

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428I sometimes go bassing next to the castle. There’s some decent fish there, if like you say, they can be bothered to walk that far. There’s even a ferry if they don’t fancy walking, as long as they remember to get the last one back.
