| Too bad you can't watch this deal, he must have some big areas baited up in preparation. That is a challenging proposition. |

Well, think about 1,600 fish in one small area without any attractant, or baiting going on? Thats a huge population in a small area, and they were feeding on what? Seems improbable not to be baited in some manner.
There are areas in southern streams where you could bait and bring in rather massive groups of carp, and buffalo, but. 1600 of those would kill anybody I know, even if they WERE in Musky Shape! |

I can easily think of at least a dozen docks where I could sit and catch little bluegills the size he's catching all day long without baiting. Were not talking about hand size fish here. Were talking any size fish goes, not too hard on a lake that is overpopulated, not hard at all if one is on the right lake. The real challenge is being able to sit there for 24 hours to do this, that is the real challenge in my honest opinion. I give all the props in the world to Mr. Kolozdinski and his efforts to raise money for this cause. |

| Went on line and watched his last years effort which is evidently all recorded. Sure looks like an English maggot bite to me, and every so often looks like he chums a little. As for the fish they are mostly runty but figure he actually had to catch over a fish a minute. Looks like he sits on the pier with 2-3 lackeys getting him coffee, helping reposition occassionally . He might have caught the same fingerlings more than once. Probably hit a mobile perch/crappie/small bass school occasionally, and I would guess he just about had to use barbless. I couldn't unhook that many little ones. I'd want to flip them in the boat like the tuna fisherman do. |

| Does the "live feed" work at all? I've checked it a few times today and nothing. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | The live feed was working intermittently all day today up until about 5pm or so. Too bad the feed wasn't an OutdoorsFIRST Live Stream, it would still be going live now with audio, interviews, a ticker updating the catch numbers and more. Maybe next year. |

What are you talking about? I was simply looking at the technical aspect involved in catching this many fish. I wasn't putting any value judgement on chumming. Evidently you do. Your problem.
1600+ fish in 24 hours of any size=1+ fish per minute for 24 hours. That is a daunting task. |
