My chocolate lab pup has been swimming and on boat rides alot but not fishing yet. So sun. morning I decided to take her crappie fishing in my jon boat to a close spot so if it didn't work out it was no big deal. Well she was kinda restless at 1st even jumped in at one point but then settled down real nice and sat up on the bow or laid under my seat getting up when I was fighting a fish to look out at it splashing and she would just lick the fish and settle back down, she's 5 monthes old so not to bad I guess. We ended up getting 11 crappie of which 9 where good keeper size 2 shellcrackers 1 was 10" some small bluegills and 1 pickeral in just a couple hrs. water was 74 fish caught in 5-6ft.
