Mark - unfortunately for you, besides being cute, and a great fishergirl - she's smart too. And she expects the same from guys.

For all the rest of you, thanks for the support and good wishes.

This daughter of mine is the luckiest person I've ever seen on the water. She caught her first Wahoo when she was 5, and a 63 lb'er when she was eleven.

She's caught striped bass >20lb, big dorado, tuna, record setting permit, and striped marlin. If I ever get time to enter one of the local derbies, you can bet she'll be in the boat. I'm damn proud of her - and protective too!
