Ha ha... no you got it backwards. Lot's of sea lions here In California, but few seals and no sea lions where he's catching Makos in the surf in Florida.
The Atlantic Coast seals are mostly up north, I think they are like a cold water harbor seal or maybe a fur seal but they hardly ever make it down to Florida or the Gulf. They once had a warm water seal in Florida the Caribbean Monk Seal but they are gone and the species is now pretty close to extinction or already extinct.
California Sea lion population has exploded, you should see Santa Barbara Island it's disgusting with them, they are destroying the island, but the Atlantic and Florida doesn't have a warm water species like our sea lion.
