Explore Kansas Outdoors: Are you an old fisherman?

Well, yet another birthday has come-and-gone. It seems that since I’ve turned 70, my “check engine light” has come on and refuses to go out. It flickers on-and-off occasionally, but never goes completely off. Don’t get me wrong, at 74, I’m blessed more than many, and I praise God for that, but it seems like I daily feel like the proverbial “old fisherman,” and I’ve devised a questionnaire so you can see if you too fit into that category.
