Chris Lane's 100 kids: The number of kids who turned out Aug. 7 for Chris Lane's fishing camp this year almost matched the number displayed on the thermometer: 100.

But the heat wave at Alabama's Lake Guntersville didn't stop anyone. The boys and girls from ages 5 to 19 came from as far away as Louisiana for seminars and contests geared for fun and fishing instruction.

Each child left with a rod and reel outfit.

"It was awesome to see the excitement on their faces as they picked up their new Shakespeare rods and reels donated by Pure Fishing," said Lane, a Bassmaster Elite Series pro who recently moved to Lake Guntersville from his native Florida.
