Bought my new bait caster and rod over the winter. Had attached a swivel and decided to add some weight to it (a ball of hockey tape my kid had sitting on the coffee table) just to cast the around the house.
I guess you get stir crazy over the winter and can't wait for the bass masters tour. lol.
so - playing with my lab he would snip at it as I cast it, bounced it around him ect. - was having some fun watching him chase it and give it a few chews. The other dog - a younger retriever cross was just waiting to get in on the action.
Put the rod down, to go stir the stew my wife was making ( she asks me to contribute once in a while at home) and got distracted for a minute in the kitchen.
Heard the young dog choking a bit and looked over to see she was trying to swallow the ball (still attached to the line and fishing rod).
I must have startled her because I came over in a hurry - so she ran toward the stairs - my rod following her closely sliding and bouncing across the hardwood.
She hit the stairs and the rod stopped abruptly and the stinking ball came out and she had a puzzled look on her face as I stood there laughing at her.
No harm to the rod or the dog ....... but pretty humorous actually. Good thing I didn't put a crank bait on it ......lol.
From that day forward - I promised myself to check the drag before I go fishing for dogs since my wife won't let me install a rod holder on her Natuzzi couch.
