I took my boy fishing a couple of weeks ago and he outfished me 7-4. He kept reminding me of this fact, so I told him I caught 11 fish, I just had help with 7 of them.
He is only 11yo, but he is responsible for his own rod, tying his own knots, occasionally chooses his own lure/bait/hook, and generally has to unhook his own fish. But as long as I have to do the driving and planning, they are "my" catches too.
On the plus side, it is always a good feeling to see him outfish me and have a great time. It leads me to believe I will be invited when he takes his own kids fishing. (Something is wrong with my father, he would rather watch paint dry than go fishing)
