All of a sudden this black lab just turns his head and snatches that rod quicker than Deon Sanders can intercept a Warren Moon pass. Somewhere out in the lake the rainbow breaks the surface. He lunges for the rod spilling he and the dog in the back of the boat. It's a tug of war. The dog thinks this is a game and he hasn't had this much fun all day.
Man lunges ,dog fends, while the fish fights.
It was pretty hard to say who was wining, although I think the lab was doing a remarkable job of fighting the fish and the old man. Finally, the fellow gets a headlock on the pooch and pries the slobbery rod from his mouth. Plays and lands the fish. I found I had a whole new respect for Lund boat stability. That boat should have gone over.
