Wozniak's Magic Number Down to Eight

Make that 992.

World-traveling angler Steve Wozniak, who I wrote about earlier in the week, is now just eight species away from catching his 1,000 species of fish.

When we last checked in with Wozniak, he was up to 990 fish, but he recently landed two more species before leaving the U.S. once again.

Wozniak is now on his way to Norway in an attempt to inch closer to the 1,000 mark.

Look for an in-depth interview with Wozniak in coming weeks, or follow his exploits on his blog, 1000fish.wordpress.com.

Wozniak's quest reminds me of an old wisecrack we used to have when my high school buddies and I used to go up to the Sierra Nevada each summer.

The friend who caught the most fish that day would ask the rest of us "How many fish did you catch?" repeatedly throughout the trip until somebody landed more fish them.

Had to be there I guess.
