Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | Gotta LUV a Knipex!! Wish they were $20 I'd have several of them. My Golden did a very similar thing and layed up against the lure rack and then layed down and hung himself on 3 baits. I was lucky as I saw it and stopped him from pulling away. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | My granddaughters want a Golden Retriever puppy and I keep telling them they are dumb dogs and they need a Lab or a German Sheppard. My doctors Golden that lives next door digs for chipmunks in my yard I call her Backhoe but it's probably not a good idea to shoot your doctors dog. |

| Good job! You should sell that video to knipex for promotional purposes! I keep a clean boat when I fish with my golden, but fear she will grab a lure someday. She's older and calmer though. Topwaters and bulldawgs will be her downfall if it ever happens! |

As a side note, that dog was in a much better mood than I after I had a musky treble removed from my hand. |

You can get just as good of a hook cutter (small bolt cutter) from a good tool company for much cheaper than knipex. I have a Snap-on that out cuts my brother's knipex and it was about 35 bucks cheaper. |

Location: E. Tenn | A couple of years ago, the guy in the next cabin brought along his year old Golden along for the week. I was sitting in one of those big old wooden chairs in front of the cabin retying leaders. I unclipped a big ol' bucktail, set it down on the arm rest, retied the leader, reached for the bucktail, and it wasn't there.. It didn't take long to find the dog had grabbed the lure, and strated trotting off with it. (I about $hit in my britches..) Fortunately, his owner was right there, held out his hand and the dog dropped the lure in his hand. That dog had a "soft mouth" and could have been a great bird dog if he was trainable. |

Location: Wakefield, MI | I always figured my dog would jump in after a topwater lure and get hooked.
Good job there, my dog would have been much more wiggly. |

| That is my biggest fear of bringing the pooch along.
Last summer a buddy and I were fishing a shore line after the sun had just set. I had cast up along a large dock and was retreiving a Creepenstein when my buddy yells for me to crank fast. That was when I noticed a springer spaniel heading for the dock faster than a fat kid after a snicker bar. The dog is really hauling butt so I jerk hard to pull the thing away from the now flying dog. Just get it out of the way in time. The big topwater takes off my hat and Costa sunglasses and they hit the water. Why do hats float and not 200.00 sunglasses? We look for dogs on shore before we work docks now. |

Location: Ames, Iowa | Goldens are the smartest dog and that pup was gorgeous. Good job to both of you. Never had a dog in the boat while fishing but I can see where a pup would love to grab a big bait right in front of his snout. He's a learner and will figure it out. |

| Very impressive reaction, fellas. I have a Golden and will take him night fishing off my pier....but I am VERY cautious. And he's not dumb......uncooperative, YES, but certainly not dumb. My wife asks if I'd ever take him fishing in the boat.....your video is evidence of why I won't risk it.

Location: Madtown, WI | Wow, that could have gone so much worse.
I've already hooked 2 dogs, one in the leg and another in the paw, both were walking passed a bait left out. What a nightmare. Unfortunately both had to see the vet and get the hook surgically removed, not cheap at all. All my dogs are trained to not even look at a musky bait. They still occasionally loose there wits and jump in after a cast though, good way to ruin a spot.
I did luck out once, casting a topraider off a dock my brother in law's dog jumped in after it. Picked up the bait, swam to shore, wrapped the line around 5 trees while I screamed frantically and eventually just dropped the bait. Whew! |

| Nice job! My English Setter goes on all musky trips with me never had any hook issues. Clean boat is the key, I would never take my Lab, he would chew up all my Suicks and spit out the hooks.....hahaha |

??? 35 bucks cheaper? You can get Knipex from multiple sources on Amazon for $37-$40. I'm sorry but with the number of people that are new to muskie fishing that come to this site, this is not sound advice....do not try to save money on cutters, Knipex will easily cut 7/0 and 8/0 hooks.....go to Amazon buy Knipex. $40 is nothing (when you consider all the expense to muskie fish) and its going to save fish, and potentially you, from a lot of bad situations.

| All retrievers are pretty smart, but may not be the smartest dogs though, who knows. I have a 9 year-old golden and she's smart enough. What makes her stand apart as the best dog I have ever had is that she is so eager to please, which made her easy to train. She's smart enough to respond to "get out of the road" when her sniffing in the yard leads her onto the road, that's gotta count for something. Most retriever breeds are eager to please and very social dogs, plus they are good hunting dogs and usually great with kids. I wouldn't trade mine for the smartest dog in the world. ksmusky's dog was smart enough to let him take care of it without freaking out. That's all that matters in this case. |
