Fishermen get a dose of surprise sea lion after reeling in a fish

It's not too happy though.

Surely the only thing better than a sea lion is a surprise sea lion.

Although we're not too sure if this sea lion was particularly happy with these fishermen reeling in its lunch, as witnessed in a video by Alycia Giglio and uploaded to the 7 News Adelaide Facebook page on Tuesday.

Captured on Browns Beach in South Australia, the footage shows someone reeling in a fish from the water, only to have a sea lion hot on its tail. The fish is pulled away, only resulting in one vexed animal.

"He's so mad," a woman can be heard saying off camera.

If you're ever thinking of visiting, the beach is located on Innes National Park, and is a popular spot for surf fishing.

Occasionally, seals and sea lions haul up on the beach, especially if you're trying to take their food.
