The best part - people don't really read all replies, so it gets a new life regardless!
I, for one, enjoyed re-reading this cool report!
And for all it's worth - the other day in LJ I watched WSB storm out of the woods and bite my mac 15 ft under the boat!
I never hooked him - he just bit the lower half, and stormed back in to the kelp as quickly as he bolted out.
I did see it happen...
And it made my day.
