Description: The coastal brown bears of Hallo Bay were anxiously waiting for the salmon to arrive for them to feast upon. When they started to trickle in, the competition for the fish was extreme. This sow was a good fisherman and she caught the first chum of the evening. A nearby boar quickly gave chase to steal the fish from her. Try as she might, he succeeded in stealing her catch. She got right back to fishing after the loss, coming up with a flounder that she managed to keep after outrunning another potential fish thief!
