The clip, uploaded to Live Leak on Monday, shows the boat pulling a large net filled with small fish aboard. But as the net is emptied, a happy and very full sea lion is revealed, surrounded by thousands of fish.
It takes the fisherman a little time to convince the surprise catch, but eventually the sea lion reluctantly jumps back into the water, leaving the safety and plethora of fish on the boat behind.
