Rare Catch News Today

A Cook Islands angler has landed a 1,128-pound blue marlin while fishing solo aboard his 22-foot boat. The catch sets a national record.

A fisherman made a rare catch off the coast of North Carolina that has been certified as a state record and could become a world record.

Captain Tim Rider was fishing for scallops when he reeled in something much rarer and more valuable - a 12,000-year-old woolly mammoth tooth.

The banana-colored animal is most likely to be suffering from leucism, a rare genetic condition. A bright-yellow catfish flopped out of the water into Martin Glatz's boat like a big, writhing banana with gills. Glatz, a professional fisherman who was fishing with his twin brother Oliver on a lake in the Netherlands, had caught many catfish, but none looked like this.
