eff Kolodzinski of Slinger set out to do some serious fishing over the weekend. It was his annual world record attempt and charity fundraiser on Lake Minnetonka in suburban Minneapolis.

Kolodzinski outdid himself, literally, and caught 2,649 fish in 24 hours, breaking his own world record and earning money for Fishing For Life, a Minnesota-based non-profit that serves youth through fishing programs.

Kolodzinski fished from a dock at Maynard's Restaurant Friday and Saturday and caught predominantly bluegill and other panfish; all fish were released.
 

For those keeping score at home, Kolodzinski landed 110 fish per hour or 1.8 fish per minute. He uses maggots and other small live bait, a small, sensitve float and a long fishing rod that acts like a cane pole.

The fish hit, Kolodzinski lifts the rod to set the hook and pendulums the fish to his waiting hand. The fish are quickly unhooked and released and the hook is rebaited, if necessary. The entire sequence often takes less than 10 seconds.

Kolodzinski's catch of 2,649 topped his own Guinness World Record of 2,160, set July 31, 2010.

Kolodzinski, 41, is a seven-time member of the U.S. World Fishing Team and works as vice-president of marketing at Frabill, Inc. a fishing tackle manufacturer in Jackson.
