1,700 Fish in 24 Hours

Jeff Kolodzinski, VP of marketing at fishing tackle company Frabill, will try to break his own Guinness World Record for most fish caught in one day on July 31.

The marketing stunt has Kolodzinksi attempting to beat 1,680 fish caught in 24 hours on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota. While it certainly is a public relations boon to Frabill, the event also aims to raise awareness for the Armed Forces Family Fishing Celebration.

The man known as “Kolo” will make his first cast at 7:30 a.m. on the 31st he’ll keep hucking until 6:29 a.m. the following morning in search of sunfish and the odd bass, carp or even catfish.

Here’s an interview with Kolo before his ’07 attempt.

Kolo said he is “honored” to donate his time “and rather whacky talent” for the kids of military families.

kids to have a day that celebrates fishing and honors their parents and the huge sacrifices they make on a daily basis.”
