I took him for the first time a couple days ago. He got all excited when I caught the first one. He is not a fan of catch and release! He tries to dive in after them and I have to stop him. If I throw a marker buoy out, I have to hold him. And he will stare at it the whole time it's out and whine like crazy. He wants to retrieve and doesn't understand why I won't let him! Also, he likes to lick the fish before I throw them back.
Haha, My Chesapeake Bay Retriever loves to go with me, but he loves to swim more than fish. If you don't watch him, he slips out out of the back of the boat and has him self a big time.
