A man, his son and the grandson.
The First man is a father, his son is a father and he is also a son. (That makes two Fathers and one son)
Then the second man's son makes two sons.

It was a grandfather, his son and his grandson. However, the grandfather is the son of someone, so it could be 2 fathers and 3 sons, still 3 fish at one each.

that's a pretty, pretty old one ;-)
grandfather, father, son, that makes for two fathers, and two sons, doesn't it. and that's 3 people so each catches one fish and that's 3 fishes.
the REAL question is, where did they find a spot where they were allowed to keep their catch? ;-)

One of the sons has a child which makes him a father too.

When they cut the fish open, it had eaten 2 other fish.
