Yup! From what I could tell sifting through forum posts trying to figure out what I can do with pickpocketing, the code has changed a few times over the years. From what I've been able to determine, the current implementation can pickpocket giant, humanoid or werewolf body types level 45 and under to steal anything that isn't NODROP, Magic or a wielded weapon (although I think there's a bug that stops you from taking non-coins off things under level 20). Seafuries are 42 and under and giant body type, so you can totally sneak along behind them and take their stuff.
Tricky parts were finding a time when people weren't actively killing them, since I don't pick off engaged targets, and having SOW so I was fast enough to chase them down with sneak on, since they tend to wander. Also, the risk of death on a failed pick since there's nowhere to run, but overall it was an exciting treasure hunting expedition at level 24. Got a Sapphire and a Star Ruby out of it before I decided to stop pushing my luck, was like 1/3 of my money at that point in time.
I might try it again now that I'm high enough level that I can likely root poison them and log on a failed pick, but it would almost be easier to just get a partner and kill that at this point or group somewhere else with good plat drops.
