    Kids and Fishing

    A good friend from church asked me to take his little 8 year old G-son fishing because the G-dad takes him fishing but never catches anything.<br /><br />So, today, I took them fishing on my favorite lake in a canoe. I don't own a power boat and only fish from one when I can get an invite from...
