Marathon Man 2008 coverage by Ron Schara's "Minnesota Bound" television magazine on May 31, 2009. It is the first segment of the show! Click it to watch!
Excelsior, MN - The Marathon Man, Jeff Kolodzinski, is going to attempt to
break his own world record for most fish caught from shore in a 24 hour period.
Jeff set the world record last year at Maynard’s on Lake Minnetonka by landing
1680 fish in a day. He is fishing this year in order to raise awareness for the
“Armed Forces Family Fishing Celebration”. Jeff has fished for Team United States in International
Shore Fishing Competitions and is honored to bring back the “Marathon Man”
on July 31st this year. “I am honored to contribute my time and insane talent
for these kids to have a day that celebrates fishing and honors their parents and
the huge sacrifices they endure daily.”
The “Armed Forces Family Fishing Celebration”, sponsored by Fishing For Life and The Twin Cities
Chapter of Muskie’s Inc, will provide fishing for youth who have a parent serving
our country overseas in the Armed Forces. This event will take place Friday, August
21st at Maynard’s on Lake Minnetonka in Excelsior, MN.
