Known for his spectacular catches on the football field, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones went for one off the gridiron on Friday, posting the following fishing photo to Instagram. That is quite an impressive haul, but it still doesn't beat this catch from Jones' 'Bama days. Here's a look at other notable athletes fishing.
