Father, dad try fishing 50 states in 50 days

By The Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A former Kansan and his 17-year-old son are on a special quest this summer - trying to fish all 50 states in 50 days.

Jeff Turner lives in Virginia now, but he grew up in Kansas and graduated from Kansas State. He and his 17-year-old son, Taylor, are taking on the challenge of fishing 50 states in 50 days.

Turner says their journey will span 15,000 miles by land, 6,000 miles by air and 500 miles by water. Hawaii and Alaska are included.

The trip began June 13 in Pennsylvania. Last week, the father and son were in Kansas at Milford Reservoir, where they hooked some bass and walleye.
