The best fishing dog story ever belongs to Sauerkraut.
He was living with a woman who had two goldens. The big male was a very active dog. He and Sauerkraut hit it off. They went fishing in his 16 ft whaler for fluke. When Alan had his back turned the dog ate all the squid. Disgusted, he reeled in and started put things away but when he looked up again the golden was sitting there with a dumb grin and Alan's leader hanging out of his mouth. Yup, his girlfriend's golden had just eaten the last piece of bait....the piece with the line and hook attached.
Alan just reached over and cut the leader at the dog's lip and never said a word to his girlfriend. The dog did fine. Must have passed the hook without it turning inside his gut.
