Are you excited? 0:00:39.823,0:00:40.713 Yes! 0:00:40.713,0:00:47.453 Due to the size of the lake our chances of catching a big fish are good. 0:00:47.453,0:00:51.863 Usually not too many bites however when you get a strike it's usually from a big fish. 0:00:51.863,0:00:53.343 Each cast counts! 0:00:53.343,0:01:02.013 I'll also be fishing with Andreas Seger from Pike Hero - the youngest member of team CWC. What's your take on today? 0:01:02.013,0:01:06.833 I think our chances are greater than the previous session due to the warmth. 0:01:06.833,0:01:09.823 Could still be hard due to no presence of wind. 0:01:09.839,0:01:18.589 We'll see - has been negative degrees tonight though. [br]Not too rare during Spring fishing! 0:01:29.066,0:01:33.316 Check this out! No wind whatsoever! Lovely day! 0:01:33.316,0:01:41.716 First advice when fishing at big lakes:[br]- Fish at the right spots! 0:01:41.716,0:01:49.296 Easier said than done. Try getting in contact with experienced fishermen 0:01:49.296,0:01:54.326 ... or ask people about good spots. 0:01:54.326,0:01:59.446 You've fished here before so you know what's up, how are we starting out today's session? 0:01:59.446,0:02:04.576 We'll start off by fishing rather deep among the baitfish - around 19 meters of depth 0:02:04.576,0:02:12.856 ... to at least 4 or 3 meters. Big rubber baits as well. 0:02:12.856,0:02:19.316 That's the first advice! Let's start fishing and find out wether the advice is good or not! 0:02:21.871,0:02:32.261 Since we're fishing pelagic - a big bait is crucial! It gets noticed by the pike a lot easier 0:02:32.261,0:02:40.531 ... compared to a small bait. The mouth of the pike - on the bigger individuals are hard and thick 0:02:40.531,0:02:50.031 ... this require you to use a stiffer rod - as this Saxa rod up to 170 grams in order to set the hooks. 0:02:50.100,0:02:56.520 Sometimes you catch the fish, sometimes you don't. Keep casting no matter what! 0:02:56.520,0:03:00.940 There's only one option - catch a pig! 0:03:05.223,0:03:11.323 Hooked up! First for today! Decent! 0:03:16.506,0:03:21.866 I'm unable to move - it's coming. 0:03:21.866,0:03:23.846 Great! 0:03:25.065,0:03:30.875 Struck your bait close to the boat![br]- Like 10 meters away from the boat! Saw the bite! 0:03:30.875,0:03:32.375 A meter below the surface. 0:03:32.375,0:03:36.995 One of the main reasons fishing at big lakes are fun 0:03:36.995,0:03:41.385 ... are due to the fact that we're basically fishing in the middle of nowhere 0:03:41.385,0:03:47.065 ... and the average weight is high! 0:03:49.026,0:03:51.176 Not bad Freddy! 0:03:51.176,0:03:52.216 Beautiful. 0:03:52.216,0:04:02.306 We've already got our measuring board from BFT ready. Quick measuring! 0:04:02.306,0:04:05.496 108 cm. 0:04:05.496,0:04:13.866 Scale is zero:ed, let's weigh it. It's a pre-spawned fish, will be interesting to find the weight out. 0:04:17.875,0:04:21.165 8.57 kg! 0:04:27.030,0:04:30.860 A pig![br]- Big? 0:04:30.860,0:04:35.180 Check it out![br]- Rod is doing it's magic! 0:04:35.341,0:04:39.551 Big fish! Really big! 0:04:39.646,0:04:41.556 Great! 0:04:41.556,0:04:45.686 My legs are shaking! 0:04:45.686,0:04:47.486 The strike from hell! 0:04:47.486,0:04:54.886 We've steadily drifted along these edges until we came to this spot - a bit more weedy area. 0:04:54.886,0:04:57.116 Which resulted in this pike! 0:04:57.116,0:04:58.776 95 cm! 0:04:58.776,0:05:05.696 Before attending such a big lake, it's crucial to examine the chart of the lake. 0:05:05.696,0:05:13.046 As you can see, there are plenty of interesting spots - however these two are the main ones. 0:05:13.046,0:05:20.456 Why these? Because there are deeper areas around. Around 40-60 meters. 0:05:20.456,0:05:28.056 When zooming, there are two more shallow areas. The first area hold two interesting spot 0:05:28.056,0:05:37.026 ... the oblong one with depths at 4.8 meters and the round spot at 6 meters. 0:05:37.026,0:05:46.806 You fish these spots by either drifting, or as we did, used our electric motor due to no wind. Keep casting! 0:05:46.806,0:05:54.806 If you have no success at the first place - go for the next one. Just keep moving until you find the fish! 0:05:54.806,0:05:57.426 Fish again?[br]- Yes! 0:06:02.070,0:06:03.500 We're catching them! 0:06:03.500,0:06:05.770 The bite was as hard as the previous one! Lovely! 0:06:05.770,0:06:12.060 Took on the Giant Pig Shad in the color Spotted Bullhead! All pikes are caught using this bait! 0:06:12.250,0:06:14.920 Advice number two! 0:06:14.920,0:06:25.420 When catching a pike - don't be afraid to keep it in the net due to the possibility of a striking period. 0:06:25.420,0:06:28.840 Tobias had a follower immediately after this was caught. 0:06:28.840,0:06:35.110 Nothing has happened for a couple of minutes - let's examine the fish! Measure and take pictures! 0:06:35.110,0:06:37.800 Post-spawned pike! 0:06:38.727,0:06:46.877 Could be a meter fish. I estimate it to be 97 cm.[br]- I'd say 99 cm! 0:06:47.007,0:06:48.647 I'll go for 100 cm. 0:06:49.601,0:06:52.741 97 cm! 0:06:52.741,0:06:59.151 Time to release it. Great back - the [br]stomach is lacking though! 0:07:04.614,0:07:07.714 Lively pike![br]- Awesome! 0:07:17.344,0:07:21.344 Fish! 0:07:25.781,0:07:27.481 Hooked up! 0:07:33.782,0:07:40.392 What's happening Tobbe?[br]- I'm hooked up! Big fish! 0:07:41.069,0:07:44.639 Ready?[br]- Yes. 0:07:49.234,0:07:51.914 There we go![br] 0:07:51.914,0:07:54.466 Great![br]- Finally my first fish! 0:07:54.466,0:07:56.296 I've been hammering so hard! 0:07:56.296,0:08:00.296 Not a 10 kg fish.[br]- Sure? 0:08:00.311,0:08:09.801 First bite after two days of hard fishing. I don't believe it's a 10 kg fish but Andreas do 0:08:09.801,0:08:15.751 ... will be interesting to find out. Meanwhile they're casting I'll unhook it. 0:08:16.647,0:08:21.779 Remember advice number two - striking periods! 0:08:21.779,0:08:24.749 I'm shaky! 0:08:32.299,0:08:43.049 Freddy and Andreas had no success. Time to measure it! Exciting! Hopefully above 10 kilos. 0:08:43.049,0:08:45.819 Heavy fish! 0:08:48.928,0:08:53.798 The moment of truth. Check it's belly out! 0:08:53.822,0:09:01.732 I saw it had a burbot in it's throat! When measuring it it's 118 cm! 0:09:01.732,0:09:15.012 118 cm! Has to be a 10 kg fish, perhaps even above![br]Let's weigh it! Beautiful fish! 0:09:15.012,0:09:24.992 I'm so happy! Two days without a contact, first fish and it's a stunning one! That's why you keep hammering! 0:09:24.992,0:09:33.202 I failed to tare the scale so we'll do the math afterwards, I want to release it as soon as possible. 0:09:33.202,0:09:36.312 Time to see. Oh it's a 10 kg. 0:09:36.312,0:09:39.962 10.48 kg with the bag! 0:09:39.962,0:09:43.132 The bag is around 0.3 kg, so around 10.3 kg perhaps! 0:09:43.132,0:09:45.202 What a fish! Awesome! 0:09:45.202,0:09:53.942 Before releasing it - look the throat! It's a burbot! The burbot could be contributing factor to the 10 kg weight! 0:09:53.942,0:09:59.862 Time to release it Andreas! You're doing the job for me! 0:09:59.862,0:10:05.159 Big fish, great first fish for me. 0:10:05.556,0:10:07.686 There she goes! 0:10:07.686,0:10:10.426 Thanks![br]- You're awesome! 0:10:10.426,0:10:11.986 Thanks for the netting Freddy! 0:10:11.986,0:10:17.726 Advice number three - keep casting no matter what! 0:10:17.726,0:10:27.216 I'm always repeating that phrase but it's the first fish for the journey. I've kept casting no matter what 0:10:27.216,0:10:41.076 ... and finally I got it. If you know the fish is nearby - just keep casting. More casts equals greater chances of catching a big fish. 0:10:41.076,0:10:50.876 Advice number four - when you finally find a good spot at the water where you notice the presence of fish 0:10:50.876,0:10:56.746 ... you might get a bite, a follower or something similar - keep drifting but never change spot! 0:10:56.746,0:11:02.056 There're certainly pike nearby - don't change the spot! 0:11:02.056,0:11:08.326 Forgot to mention! My fish was caught on the Giant Pigshad in the color Smelt. 0:11:08.326,0:11:14.070 What has been your bait for today?[br]- Giant Pigshad in the color Spotted Bullhead, been working great! 0:11:14.070,0:11:19.050 Freddy what about you?[br]- The color Ice Spotted Bullhead! 0:11:19.050,0:11:22.330 Why do you believe these type of baits end up delivering fish? 0:11:22.330,0:11:29.790 Because the bait allow you to retrieve it slowly with it's wide profile! 0:11:29.790,0:11:33.850 A killer bait in big lakes! 0:11:40.290,0:11:47.300 The sun is setting and we have a long way home - not preferred to head home during darkness 0:11:47.300,0:11:50.750 ... so we'll start heading home right now. Been a great day - long time between each bite 0:11:50.750,0:11:56.780 ... but the size has been amazing. I'm happy, great job all of you! 0:11:56.780,0:12:00.170 Great job![br]- What's the plan for tomorrow? 0:12:00.170,0:12:06.720 The plan is to fish at similar spots - a bit deeper and hammer spots we know hold big fish. 0:12:06.720,0:12:12.270 Let's head home! Give me five! 0:12:20.200,0:12:29.570 Spring fishing at it's finest! Early morning and late evenings. Let's consume a pizza and get to bed. 0:12:39.651,0:12:45.911 New day and new possibilities[br]for big pike! What's the plan? 0:12:45.911,0:12:52.651 A bit colder today - good chances of catching pre-spawned pike. The fish we caught yesterday 0:12:52.651,0:12:54.731 ... were not as thick as they could've been. 0:12:54.731,0:13:01.671 They were all spawned. We're aiming for 15+ pikes! Located in the middle of nowhere! 0:13:04.962,0:13:09.952 No land in sight, just open water! 0:13:09.952,0:13:13.682 This means pig![br]- Let's get them! 0:13:13.682,0:13:22.592 When fishing at these depths you have to use these quick sunglasses! Greater chance of a good hookset! 0:13:22.592,0:13:27.962 First cast for today! Let's see if there's a 15+ kg pike nearby! 0:13:28.485,0:13:29.595 No! 0:13:29.595,0:13:33.075 What happened Freddy?[br]- Lost a pig. 0:13:33.075,0:13:38.335 We've been hammering a lot without a contact. 0:13:38.335,0:13:48.315 I had a hard bite but didn't manage to set the hooks.[br]- The scream of doom! 0:13:48.335,0:13:51.235 Many emotions involved. 0:13:51.235,0:13:57.335 The pike usually follow the bait - we could estimate it to be around 110 cm. 0:13:57.335,0:14:00.885 Probably pre-spawned as well - not too fun! 0:14:00.885,0:14:08.845 Could've been your personal best.[br]- Could've been. At least it's here with perhaps it's grandma. 0:14:09.544,0:14:12.894 Let's get her. 0:14:14.128,0:14:17.478 Fish on! 0:14:20.125,0:14:24.185 Could be good. 0:14:25.110,0:14:25.870 Great! 0:14:25.870,0:14:32.120 Feels good catching something this early. 9:45 a.m. 0:14:33.550,0:14:37.890 What's happening Freddy?[br]- Hooked up with a giant! 0:14:38.202,0:14:40.872 A monster! 0:14:43.657,0:14:46.517 Let's wait for it. 0:14:46.517,0:14:49.007 How big! 0:14:49.596,0:14:54.276 Probably personal best. 0:14:56.402,0:14:58.602 It's coming up. 0:15:09.917,0:15:12.717 Personal best. 0:15:16.524,0:15:20.644 Nervous?[br]- Extremely.

I was measuring and taking pictures of my fish 0:16:15.784,0:16:24.194 ... when taking pictures Freddy screamed "Big fish!". That's why you didn't get to see too much of my fish. 0:16:24.194,0:16:30.034 It was 93 cm and like 6 kg. But Freddy has finally managed to get a personal best. 0:16:30.034,0:16:35.334 Advice number two - don't forget! 0:16:35.334,0:16:38.714 Let's wait with the casting - we have[br]to examine this beast! 0:16:38.714,0:16:40.305 Plenty of pictures awaits. 0:16:40.305,0:16:46.165 The fish is unhooked - time to measure it. 0:16:46.245,0:16:50.515 A fighter. Dream fish. 0:16:50.515,0:16:53.895 My previous personal best is 9.21 kg, time to see wether this exceeds that! 0:16:53.895,0:17:00.085 How long?[br]- 114 cm. 0:17:00.700,0:17:05.240 Quite fat as you can see. 0:17:05.381,0:17:12.651 It's thick but not that compact! Guaranteed a 10 kg+ fish. 0:17:12.651,0:17:21.631 At least personal best on length with 2 cm! Sick!

Totally worth it! 0:17:34.751,0:17:39.921 The scale is tarred! Let's bring it up for weighing. 0:17:43.159,0:17:49.959 The scale is imprecise.[br]- from 9.99 to 11.2 kg. 0:17:49.959,0:17:55.219 We've tried out different scales - 10.4 kg seems to be the concluded weight. 0:17:55.219,0:18:04.549 It's varying due to the waves but 10.4 kg seems like a reasonable weight. 0:18:04.736,0:18:10.096 It's not fun to estimate the weigh way too high - therefor it's more fair to assume a lighter weight. 0:18:10.096,0:18:14.096 10.4 kg, I'm happy! 0:18:15.989,0:18:20.769 Check this belly out![br]- Piggy! 0:18:20.769,0:18:23.729 Awesome Freddy![br]- We came for this one! 0:18:23.729,0:18:29.469 Time to release it - congrats on your new personal best![br]- Thanks! 0:18:29.469,0:18:36.019 Two 10 kg + in three days - yet some time left! 0:18:43.873,0:18:46.083 There she goes! 0:18:46.332,0:18:50.332 Pig-thumb!
