New York State Department of Health has issued an advisory and a bit of a tutorial on "X" (formerly known as Twitter) that shows the dangers of eating certain fish.

We love to fish with our kids! It is a great way for the family to spend time together and a great way to get the kids fresh air and learn about the importance of conservation. However, it comes with a few challenges.

Last summer, our 7 and 4 year old were fishing too close together and the younger brother caught a fish hook in the mouth!!! It was terrifying. Everyone is OK and thankfully, there was not a major injury. It was an unplanned lesson that we won't soon forget!
