hmm, grabbed, pulled overboard, and let go.
Was it a nearsighted sealion thinking he found a fish, or just thought its fun to play with humans?

Weird, Ive seen seal lions all the time when I was up in Washington for 2 years and I rarely saw them jump more then a foot or 2 off the ground.

he probably dove and surfaced really fast, like a dolphin/whale or a submarine "dolphining", thus jumping out of the water higher than usual.
