In the tournament/outing section, I started a thread about a bass I caught in a small pond behind our daughter's house in GA the day before Thanksgiving.

I've mentioned before that she operates a kennel and trains dogs for hunting and field trials. What may surprise folks is that she has also trained them to fetch fish as well. Here's the photo I posted, followed by others which tell the rest of the story. The boat, the rods and the bag of baits below me are all props.

NOW, go fetch me another!

Funny.

Pretty dog.

Did he hop in the boat with you to shake the water off of himself???? 

She tried to crawl aboard.  I had to help her by grabbing the scruff of her neck. 

If I'm on the pond when she's let out, she becomes a nuisance.  She swims out, goes after the paddle, if I'm paddling.  I help her in, and get drenched in the process.

She loves to swim, and loves people.  Thank goodness she is satisfied with a brief boat ride back to shore.  She gets out and leaves me alone...............until the next time.
