dogfish
Was ice fishin' a few years back and caught a dog. Fair hooked, right in the mouth!
I had a line sitting on the ice beside me with a minnow on the hook. A guy came up to chat and let his dog poke its nose through my gear. I guess he found the minnow and thought he'd steal a snack. Next thing I know the rod is jambed against my chair, the drag is screaming, and one surprised dog is racing across the ice, trying to get away from whatever was holding its lip.
I cut the line and the dog just kept running. It took about 20 minutes for the owner to finally convince the dog to come back to him. Then I got a pair of pliers while he held the dog still, and we slipped the hook out of its lip.
I told the dog it could thank king Ralph for implementing the barbless rule that year.
