Any fisherman worth his rod and reel knows that it isn’t just about seeing who can nab the biggest bite, but about tuning into nature and finding your quiet, peaceful place. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t still brag every now and then, but this pup is far too sportsmanly for such things.

That, or the fish she nabs happens to put up too good a fight. Either way, the whole catch-and-release interaction is just too cute.

Maybe they just decided to come to a mutual agreement. Either way, they both have an awesome story to tell their animal buddies later.
