Deep-sea fishing is like raising children: both require patience, superior breath-holding skills, and a pocket full of worms to entice cooperation. Catch your next meal with today's Groupon: for $79, you get a four-hour sport-fishing charter from Monster Sport Fishing Charters (a $160 value).

On Monster Sport Fishing Charters' four-hour fin-wrangling expeditions, people can try their hands at bagging massive aquatic vertebrates. Accompanied by two experienced, seaworthy crew members and up to five other passengers, amateur anglers take aim at such creatures as marlins, sharks, kraken, mahi-mahi, and, the most common catch, sailfish—all of which dwell within three miles of shore. Once cast off from shore, fishers cruise past multimillion-dollar homes before sinking their lines into the depths of Port Everglades roughly 20 minutes later. All aboard take advantage of the provided poles and bait to catch that evening's dinner or an attractive merperson best friend.
