Why One Fisherman Caught 2,977 Fish After Breaking 24 Hour Record

Jeff Kolodzinski, also known as the “Marathon Man,” set another 24-hour fishing record Thursday in Spring Lake, Illinois. His final tally of just over 2,700 fish, landed back-to-back during the daylong marathon, easily replaced his previous record of 2,143 fish. But Kolodzinski wasn’t about to quit there. He’d set out to break the record on a specific day, Sept. 11, to honor the victims who died in the terror attacks. So he kept on fishing until he’d caught exactly 2,977 fish — one for each life that was lost in the 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and those aboard Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.
