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.
