Story
After almost a fortnight without work, Peter decides to make a living as a fisherman. He takes out a loan for a boat and struggles to repay it, so he goes after the bounty offered for a fish of local legend. Meanwhile Lois accompanies Meg on a spring break trip to the beach. Lois ends up enjoying herself far more than Meg and gets on better with the visiting teenagers than her daughter does.
