When I was a kid, probly 6 or 7, my dad took me ice fishin on the lake and drove his truck! In no way would he have done that if he didn't feel it was safe. Long before gps and all the fancy stuff. But in todays world you can't even teach your kid how to ride a bike without a helmet and full body armor for being judged by others as a bad parent.

That is your daughter and if you deem it safe to take her than take her. She is your family and your responsibility. I myself am glad to say my dad took me perch fishing on lake erie in his old truck. Call it whatever you want but its a memory of my dad that ill never forget.

The kid in the wheelchair wanted to take someone else's daughter out in a kayak during the most dangerous time of year out there in my opinion. I don't feel like it is in no way the same situation.

You don't strike me as a dummy. I won't judge you if you take a safe trip out there with her. Childhood memories and adventures make for great stories. Good luck and be safe whatever you choose. Show us pictures of her with a 10 lber.
