Another summer of fishing is history, but the memories will linger for years. Based on the scores of photos sent to Trophy Tales by readers, many of those special moments involved kids. Today, on our last fishing page of the season, we share some of the catches that made summer 2013 one to remember. Starting next week, our Wednesday Outdoors page will return with coverage of hunting, conservation, natural resources, outdoor recreation — and fishing. Thanks to the hundreds of people who submitted photos and fish tales this season.
