I posted this as a reply to another post, but bringing up this memory I just had to share again here. I saw in another post someone caught their dog. I have one better. I too caught my dog. Here it is.<br />I was not in a boat, was bank fishing in the pond behind our house when I was a kid about 13. I was using a bobber fishing shallow. The dog decided he wanted to "fetch" the bobber after a cast and splashed out to where the bobber was floating. To keep him from chomping the bobber I gave the rod a tug. Bobber pulled in away from the dog, only problem was the dog was straddeling the line. Bobber went between his legs dragging the hook behind. When the hook got to the rear legs I saw the dog jump and turn in a hurry. It was at that time I realized I had hooked the dog.....right in the scrotum! First I was upset that I hooked the dog. I got the dog out of the water and felt really really bad about where I had hooked the dog. As I was trying to snip the end off of the hook and remove it I noted how this must look to the outside world. The dog would not lay down, but would stand in front of me facing away.
