New Winter World Record Live Release Walleye Caught- ON TAPE!

When you’re filming for a tv show you want to catch fish as often as possible, and as big as possible. Well things could not have gone better during this filming of No Excuses Outdoor TV in Saskatchewan. Throughout the video they’re landing nice walleye pretty consistently, but at about nine and a half minutes a 14 pound mega-walleye shows up for his 15 minutes of fame.


The fish was caught on a PK Lures PK spoon, and the man who caught it is Tim Geni. You can check out more great videos on PK lures website and you can read more about this world record catch on the Saskatchewan Tourisum website.

Marlin Release Gets Dangerous When Mako Sharks Join the Party

Photogapher Al McGlashan was on assignment in Australia shooting what should have been a textbook catch and release of a striped marlin, when out of no where a 10-foot make shark appeared and attacked the marlin right at the boat. The massive mako immediately attacked and dismembered the tail from the marlin ultimately insuring its demise. Check out the photo gallery after the video below.

The World Record Catch & Release Musky

We first broke the story about the newest “world record” musky last week. I use quotes because this beauty was released to live another day. As many of you probably know, in order to have a proper world record, the fish has to be weighed on a certified scale and the stomach contents need to be examined. Ultimately the fish will die, which is quite possibly the worst outcome of such a beautiful moment. And probably why I’ll never be a world record holder.

Check out this video from the local news where they talk to the lucky, and responsible, fisherman.

The idea of a separate catch and release category of the world records sounds great, probably a logistical nightmare for the record keeper though.
