It's kind of a wonder Bill Dance caught any fish at all. Dance, a Tennessee native, hosts his own fishing show, 'Bill Dance Outdoors,' and things are always going wrong.

This Saturday (June 30) from 7:30am to 4pm is the 2nd Annual Kid's Fishing Tournament & Family Day at Parrott Park on Highway 69 in Lindale. The best part? It's free to participate!

Prizes will be awarded for biggest overall fish and biggest fish in each age group as well.
