13+ Species, 24 Hours, 3 Dimensions

I like making video.  It conveys some of the excitement that photographs perhaps leave out.  Here is my idea to shoot a video this summer.  I have been playing around with some ideas and this one will be a little different.

I want to catch 13+ species of fish in 24 hours.  I will be shooting it in true 3d.  Can't find any examples of this being done in Colorado. Anyone interested?  Tentatively, I will be shooting for 24 hours July 6th, 7th.  If you want to be on it contact me for the details.  It will be set to music, so you will not have to talk or say anything.  If you are worried about giving up a honey hole I can take only underwater and face 3d shots.  Size of fish does not matter.  Preferably from shore, but I have a kayak that I will shoot from. 

Here is my tentative species list.  "Check" means that I am confident that I can catch one in fairly short order.
1. Bluegill - check
2. Tiger - check
3. Rainbow - check
4. Cutthroat - check
5. Saugeye - check
6. Pike - check
7. Largemouth - check
8. Lake Trout -
9. Smallmouth -
10. Brown -
11. Sucker -
12. Brook - check
13. Splake - check
14. Wiper -
15. Walleye -
16. Catfish -
17. Bullhead -
18. Carp -
19. Perch - check
20. Crappie -

Someone will inevitably ask, "What is the point, are you insane?"  First and foremost, I like to make fishing more than a sport done from a folding chair.  I think you can take the sport of fishing to pretty extreme lengths; film can capture it.  Second, after talking with some members here on the website, they said that it would be an interesting benchmark to see if they could beat it.  Normally, you can only beat size records.  I wonder what it would look like to set records according to time.  Not only is this a fishing challenge, but a logistical one as well.  I expect that I will be hitting lakes from Pueblo to Ft. Collins.  Time will tell.
