celebrated blues rocker managed to catch a record-breaking salmon in an Icelandic river.

Whatever you did with your weekend probably wasn't nearly as impressive as the activities of Eric Clapton . After all, theAbove you'll see a picture of Clapton holding up the salmon (and, in our dreams, singing, "Lay Down, Salmy").According to local reports [via Vulture ], the captured fish was measured to be the biggest catch of the year. It required Clapton and a guide to run along the river for two and a half hours to land the beast of a fish.Fortunately the salmon won't be spilling any tears in heaven, as the fish was released soon after it was caught. At least Clapton got to pose for the epic photo.
