Summary:

Dad and Tiff are on a fishing trip together. They are having a great time, but Tiff is getting a little impatient.  She manages to hook a fish, but she ignores Dad's advice to slow down.  Instead, the line gets caught on a rock and Tiff breaks her rod by reeling in too hard. Tiff admits she should be more patient next time.
