Man says he's caught 1,000 species of fish

London -- Anglers are often chided about "the one that got away," but a British man's claim is really fishy.

Steve Wozniak has broken the ultimate fishing record to become the first person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish, Great Britain's Sun newspaper said Friday.

The ace fisherman has spent 10 years in his global quest to set the record; he has fished in 63 different countries and traveled more than 1 million miles.

Wozniak, 47, said he has spent 20,000 hours fishing and once caught a shark weighing 900 pounds, the report said.

Wozniak said he has spent more than $100,000 in his fishing travels over the past decade.

Your my mentor!!

You have done something I have always wanted!!! You have caught over a 1000 species of Fish!! I have been a fisherman since I could walk and I try to go Tuna fishing every year in New Jersey when I go visit my Daughter.

I used to work on fishing boats in Jersey before a Hip problem took my passion away from me. My wife and I are finally going back to school and eventually will be able to afford to do more fishing, but in the mean time till we can afford to stay just more than afloat I will watch your progress and hope and dream someday I can say I have done what only 1 other man has done and his name is Steve Wozniak my inspiration!!!!
