This footage shows fishermen accidentally catching four enormous sea lions and later driving them out with the help of a fire hose.
The incident reportedly occurred off the coast of Kamchatka, Russia, in the Bering Sea.

The animals were hauled onto a fishing trawler along with the fish, as this footage from 17th October shows.

After landing on the ship and getting out of the nets, the sea lions began growling at the men but were in no hurry to return to the sea on their own, given the ample supply of fish lying around.

The fishermen had to turn on a fire hose and drive them off the trawler with a powerful stream of water.
The seals left but not before they had stolen some of the caught fish from the net.
