Man catches 42 trout in seven minutes

MILWAUKEE A Burlington man reeled in 42 trout in seven minutes, and he has the witnesses to prove this isn't a fish tale.

Thirty-three-year-old Tom Waite hit the mark at the Journal Sentinel Sports Show going on this weekend at the State Fair Park in Milwaukee.

His mark is nine better than that of the next contestant in the event's fishing derby.

His totals mean he caught a fish about every ten seconds. Even so, he says he lost six fish because of problems with the rods.

Waite says he grew up with a passion for the outdoors. His technique, he says, is to look for the active fish, not necessarily the bigger fish.
