was a deep runner so as I reeled it in it tumbled on the surface.
The dang bass came from under the dock and went AIRBORNE
to nail my lure. The dog went nuts when I brought it on board.
He scanned for fish thereafter and would point when they were present.
I took a pic of him pointing in a cove with a small school of bass
out in front of him because NOBODY believed the boy would point fish.
I love to tell the story when people ask about that wall mounted bass.

I had a dog that would point fish, but only out of the water. When I pulled a fish out, she would point, or if I pulled a stringer of fish out of the water or was carrying the stringer of fish up to the house, she would stop and go on point. Pretty funny. That was a good dog, though.
My current dog has to use all of her self control not to jump in the water after my lure every time I cast.
