Get used to the girlfriend/kid phenomenon
!
It has been my experience that being a kid or a female will usually outfish those of us with 60 years experience - just ask my wife or son!!!
Of course that is FAR from bad - As long as you can take some ribbing think of all the good will you have earned.
The girlfriend/wife/son/daughter may not be naturally lured ( pardon the pun but I did graduate from the University of Punsylvania ( actually Pennsylvania)) to fishing and the water like we are. 'Letting'
them outfish us is just good politics. Plus they will be much more likely to
WANT to go fishing nextime, not just going because YOU want to go. I even have been know to fish with bare hooks on my line when fishing with young kids - let 'em outfish you - helps produce the next generation - as as far a women go there are WAY too few out there who share out love of fishing, so anything anyone can do to foster that love is a great thing to do. sltDo't forget - you are lucky that she will go along - my son just got married and his fishing has already been cut in half by his new wife!!!
