We fished at Lake Powell this spring in April, 3 trips total. It was a blast and we literally caught hundreds of fish (multiple boats/fishermen/days/etc.).
One particular morning I had my son-in-law and 2 of my grandkids on the boat with us. I was having one of those magical days where I had the hot rod. I would put an anchovy on the jig of either my pole, or one of my grandkids poles, cast it out, literally set the hook and hand it off then grab the next available pole and continue doing that for a few hours. We got off the lake at noon, filleted them all then headed to the Burger King in Page for lunch.
We decided to add up our catch so each person in the truck voiced how many fish they had caught. My grandkids are exactly like me when it comes to counting fish (they are extremely ocd about keeping an exact count) and I knew in advance how many fish I had personally hooked and handed off to them. Their turns came around and they announced how many fish they had each caught and that they had counted them on their count due to the fact that reeling them in is the hardest part... Doing the quick math in my head when it was my turn...I announced that I had caught one single fish the whole day! It was awesome!
What's already been said. Pretty much counts as the kid's fish if they either cast the pole out, hooked the fish, reeled it in, or touched the pole or fish in any way, shape or form!

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
