As a reality TV fisherman was displaying his impressive catch at Los Cabos, Mexico recently, a cheeky sea lion popped right out of the water and grabbed the monster fish right out of the proud man’s hands.

The oppor-tuna -stic fish-thief, known locally as Pancho, wasn’t available for comment unfortunately but it’s thought the creature did it just for the halibut. At least the unfortunate fisherman had the entire incident recorded, otherwise his "it was this big" stories may not have been believed. Funghi the dolphin better not get any big ideas... Check out the clip below where all it’s missing is a “Yoink!” from Snake from The Simpsons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGz-NIBZwEw 0YKFHVy
