At least they seem to have the same attitude ! Kaz is certainly right about the size of our boat being a factor. At 23 LOA, our boat was only 3 or 4 times longer than the bull. It still seems like an odd reaction. I would have expected the bull to associate small boats with living fish being dragged through the water, kind of like an aquatic In-N-Out burger for sea lions. Maybe he was just having a bad day. -Sven
