It could have been a victim of Brigg's killer whale attack, but I would have expected that the animal would have been consumed more completely as this species hunts in family groups (typically 4 individuals). Another alternative is that the seal died somehow (natural causes, boat strike, gunshot....), and its carcass was scavenged by a shark, perhaps broadnose seven-gill shark or a salmon shark that managed a bite or two before carcass washed up on the beach. That is a pretty circular bite, consistent with a shark. Just speculation.

I once hooked a dead pelican wraped in fishing line with 4 keeper crabs trying to eat it.
Thanks for the info! That helps a lot.
I want to know how close you guys were to gagging when getting up to do that close up photo.... I came across a similar white (skinned?) seal carcass this summer and holy smokes was it ripe in the worst ways....
That looks like a clipped coconut! I haven't punched the coconut ticket this year, and am wondering if maybe when the four planets align (pink, humpy, silver and coho) things would get better for the someone in hooking the ole C'nut. Glad it was you Brian, you certainly put in the time. Don't forget to write it down on your catch card!
Saw this from the kayak today, that driftwood looks like a wooden horse

The rarest of the Puget Sound anadromous soda species. Congrats!
The sea sprite can be be most refreshing on hot days like these.

In Southern California it is quite common to encounter headless seal carcasses. IMO, they are mostly victims of shark feeding that was left unfinished.
Speaking of sharks and odd finds.

Salmon Shark Carcass Found On Idaho's Salmon River -
It probably didn't swim there on its own like the bluefin tuna that turned up on an Orcas Island beach earlier this summer, but Idaho officials are confirming that yesterday they investigated the carcass of a salmon shark found on the Salmon River near Riggins.

So this popped up on another social media platform. Many know this place.
I guess this guy heard humpies like pink worms. More odd year beach weirdness.

Glad I showed up with the kids after that happened. That is one way to get some new piercings with all the hooks flying around though. I caught a hook in the chest that day and they guy next to me caught one with his shorts.
No he said it was caught in the shorts

Just goes to show, humpies are more addicting than meth….
