My oldest is 11. I took her flounder fishing about a year ago. Took the day off from work.

We get on the boat, it is a little chilly and drizzling. We get out to the grounds and my daughter is all upset because she is wet and cold and wants to go home. All these old guys are looking at me like, "either you throw her overboard or we will."

Well my daughter catches a fish. Then another and another. Then she catches one that breaks the rod. Then another.

At the end of the day, she winds up with cash for first fish, high hook and pool winner. The mate doesn't even throw another fish on the scale, my kid has a three pound flounder. Biggest dang flounder I ever saw. Old guys on the boat now have my kid at the front of the boat, giving her soda and cookies and stuff, treating her like their grandkid.

She took her winnings and on the way home we stopped off and she bought a game boy. We stunk like fish in the toy store and were loving every minute of it.
