The last few mornings, my 9 year old daughter has eschewed her normal collection of mermaid/princess/girly TV shows for something slightly different; "Monster Fish". As I am preparing her breakfast and getting her things ready for school, I've found it amusing to see her glued to the screen, practically on the edge of her seat. When I ask her what the guy is trying to catch in that moment, she fires back without hesitation, "He is fighting a marlin" or "He hooked an alligator gar" or "He just caught a snook"!
Followed by, "Daddy, when are you going to take me fishing?"
I am highly disappointed. Except I'm not. The best excuse ever to get back into fishing.
