Congrats. I have a 21 month old girl, and she is already carrying around her Barbie rod. She pulls the rubber fish, and I pretend that I have a big one on as she pulls out the drag. It is tough, and especially financially to find the time and money to fish. I think compromise is the key. If she has things she can do with friends , etc.., then it hopefully won't be a problem when you want to hit the water. This site is great as well, because there are so many guys that may be able to get together and fish with you, and save gas, and or fishing "money". If you ever need someone to head down that way and fish the Potomac, PM me, and I come a hauling the bass boat. Congrats, and good luck. Being a dad is the most amazing experience ever. I know that lauren, my daughter weighed 7lb. 11oz. and I said pretty close after she was born, that she would be a great keeper for any tournament. What a fish she has turned out to be, teaching me way more than she knows. Good luck, and good fishing.
