Shane Victorino Is Spending His Off Time Catching Fish the Size of Jose Altuve

If you're not catching baseballs, may as well catch fish.

Say your Chicago Cubs Triple-A team releases you twice in four months—the last time right before the season starts. What do you do? Light out for the territories, more than likely, right? Well, 35-year-old outfielder Shane "The Flying Hawaiian" Victorino did just that, setting off for the other non-continental United States, Alaska, and got to fishing. But instead of catching, you know, a regular-sized fish, Victorino snagged himself something gargantuan—a king salmon the size of a high schooler.
