Steve Wozniak's lengthy hunt for fish species 
By Kyle Burger NZ Source: abcaction news 6/2/2021

Sure, there are plenty of fish stories out there about the one that got away. But this one is about the thousands that did not get away.

“I got 1,999 in Mexico,” angler Steve Wozniak (not the Apple co-cofounder) told ABC Action New sports anchor Kyle Burger.

Wozniak is on a worldwide quest to land the most species of fish.

“I got my 100th species in August of 1999,” he said. “I got my 1,000th in July of 2010.”
 

He’s fished in 94 countries, reeling in big ones, little ones, red ones, and blue ones. He started keeping track with a buddy back in 1998.

“We got a legal pad from the waitress and we both listed our species. I had more,” Wozniak recalls. “I had about 75 at the time and said this is kind of cool.”
