world record

We took a look to see what Guinness World Records were held by people in Louisiana or achieved in Louisiana and found some pretty off-beat and amazing records you probably didn't know existed.

Duplantis soared to a mark of 6.23 meters or 20 feet, 5.25 inches at the Diamond League Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon this past weekend.

Max Park, a 21-year-old California native, sets a new Rubik’s Cube Guinness Book World Record by solving it in 3.13 seconds.

A high school fishing team out of Bossier Parish may have set a world record after their impressive haul this past weekend in the Louisiana High School Bass Nation Caney Lake "Hawgfest".

She is the woman with the largest mouth in the world and holds the record for it in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Julia Hawkins, aka Hurricane Hawkins, just set a new world record in track recently. She is a Baton Rouge native gaining national attention. Oh, and she is 105 years old.

Former Lafayette High track star Mondo Duplantis is breaking records at the Copernicus Cup in Poland.

That's more than 110,000 avocados on display at Rouses on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans.

Good thing the LHSAA ruled Armand "Mondo" Duplantis eligible for the Texas Relays on Saturday, because all he did was break a world junior pole vault record.

A fisherman from the Phillipines was working 10 years ago when he spotted a huge pearl inside a giant clam. And of course he did what any of us would've done -- he stashed it under his bed for good luck!

French rally-car driver Guerlain Chicherit attempted to set a new record for longest ramp jump of all time, but it ended in a horrific crash—all of it captured on GoPro video.

If you are going to break the record for breaking glass you've got to really use your head.

Summer camp fun for the record book. Watch how high these guys go in their attempt to set a Blob world record.

We all tried to get away with the excuse: ”I heard in some countries, it’s rude if you DON’T burp after a meal” after we’ve passed gas either inadvertently or with purposeful malicious intent.  The World Burping Federation wants to put the stigma to an end. They have begun to let our people go with the inaugural World Burping Championship.

Garrett McNamara, self proclaimed "extreme surfer" broke the world record for the largest wave ridden out. Meaning he didn't beef it, whipe out, eat sand, or any of the above!

This guy has got to be nuts! Why on earth, you would ever volunteer to let someone (much less the man who holds the world record for the fastest squash ball) hit a ball into my back. I'm cringing at this, but at the same time. It's like a train wreck, you can't just look away...

Well here is a real life changing video, okay not so much life changing as it is mood changing. Dogs just make me smile and most of the time they make me laugh and when they jump rope well that's a party in my brain.

One of the first things they teach you in business of broadcast news is, "report the story, don't be the story". Well one reporter from the west coast found out what it's like to "be the story". Unfortunately for him the outcome didn't make him famous, it made him infamous as theguy who single handedly ruined a world record attempt....

Before you watch this, you have to promise me you aren't going to try it. Imagine jumping off a platform almost 40 feet in the air and landing in a child's wading pool with barley a foot of water in it. Well that is exactly what we have for you here...
