This is not your regular fishing trip

This is Vättern

Swedens second biggest lake

It's deep and full of predators

Team Galant are ready to deal
with the giants of this lake

We're doing it with the trolling 
legend himself, Rade

He knows every deep edge, school
and hunting areas in the lake

We're getting onboard on Scandinavias
probably biggest trolling boat

Our goal is Salmon, Arctic char
and sea trout

It's really hard to catch all 3 of 
them in one single day

3 species and one gigantic boat

And some people who think they
know what they're doing

the lures are in the water
and the coffea is hot

what can possibly go wrong?

Welcome onboard
this will be fun

or it'll be chaos

probably both

It's jumping

Big!

But first we'll read some of your comments

The first one is from Kenny who would 
like is to out the date in the description

We could do that but we might as
well just say the date in the video

So this video when we're out trolling
is filmed in January

Adrian want us to tell his fishing buddy DT
to stop carrying his wifes purses

And start fishing again

I'm on your side Adrian, 
drop the purses DT

and grab the fishing rod instead

Our last comment is from Samuel

what happened with the serious
fishing that we told to do

I did say at the start of the year to stop
do as many challenges

and more serious fishing

I really think we have, this video 
is serious

we've been on Vänern and fished for 
big pikes in a video coming soon

We're gonna mix it up this year

challenges and serious fishing

But now it's time to head out there

It's always special when you arrive
at Vättern early in the morning

You got that feeling inside

We're heading out there for the hole day

and probably catch some big fish

Salmon, sea trouts and arctic chars

they are so beautiful and strong

I've got a great feeling about today

I've never caught a salmon in a lake before

Only in one river, Bergeforsen

My goal for the day is to catch
my first salmon in a lake

that would've beens o much fun

we've decided to head out
there with Rade from trolling.se

He got some really cool gear on his boat

cinema chairs, huge TV
from a small boat to a huge one

We can enjoy a movie and eat popcorn

- cinema chairs?
- yes

He's lying

I can see him over there in the boat

It's time to head out

I didn't lie
, he actually has cinema chairs

I want to trick him to think that
I'm lying

Hi there, any salmons in the boat today?

That we will try

do you think we're catching any salmon?

If not, any arctic char?

or third any sea trouts?

It's a great period for salmon so we
aim for that

we rig for salmon and have 
arcitc char and sea trout as a bonus

- There are cinema chairs in there
- I told you

I really thought you where just kidding

You even got a soda holder on them

We need to be comfortable when
you're out with Rade

this might be the biggest salmon 
boat on Vättern

It's huge

this is trolling.se standard

we even got movie screens
with the sonar on it

more fun than the cinema

The best time to catch all 3 species
is during winter

when the water is cold

Vättern is 130km long, 30 km wide

and the deepest spot is 128m

a lot of spots for the fish to hide

you need to have the lures in the water
and cover as much area as possible

Let's go now

We'll start with a wobbler on the surface

We just got out here and all of a sudden
Rade rigged all the rods

Are the salmon close to shore
this time of year?

is that why we start fishing already?

You can have this one Tobbe
release it like 220 feet

I'll start at the other side

It's been great fishing from shore
lately

There's been some good reports
the winter has been mild

- How many rods do we have? 12?
- it's 10

we're gonna have 6 rods on the surface

and 4 rods going deeper
2 on each side

we have a counter on these trolling reels

so 220 feet is around 70 meters

Rade has got really good track record

we've caught fish every time we've
been on the water with him

But salmon, arctic char and trout is
hard to cath

we need to have the lures in the water
as quick as possible

we can show you later what
lures we're using

Fish!

That didn't take long

I wonder if it's salmon, trout
or arctic char

But I can see it's shiny

- looks like an arctic char
- you think?

it comes slowly

it's an arctic char

or a sea trout

we didn't even have
all the rods in the water

But this is fun

They are strong

The take was really good

so sick, we haven't even fished
for more than 5 minutes

feels like a great start of the day

It took on this spoon
a green one

Nice Tobbe, 
you got the first fish of the day

I was stuck in the cinema chair

next one might be mine then

arctic char is one of my favourite fish

they are so beautiful

they are more silver here in Vättern

if you fish them in arctic lakes
they are really red

a beautiful one but not the 
most beautiful I've seen

a perfect fish to eat

they need to be minimum 50cm

let's measure this one later but
it's definiltey over 50cm

I've got the knife with me here

Important if you want the best meat

to drain them from all blood

I'll use the Morakniv

let's do it outside the boat

- we don't want to ruin Rades boat
- no we don't want blood everywhere

I'll cut just below the geels
oh it's so sharp

like that

This knife handle is made of cork
so I could drop it and it will float

and you can just get it

a perfect knife for fishing

This was really nice

You can sit in here with now wind

and you can have a look at
the rods

This is life

Fish!

It pulls

let's go

so much fun

I wonder what it is, arctic char
or a salmon this time?

imagine my first salmon on a lake

I don't want to push it to hard

they can have soft mouth
you need to be careful

a pike, zander or perch you can
just reel them in

You need to be careful with these fish

here it comes

I can see it

Is it my first salmon?

It's a salmon!

It's a salmon!

come on now

YES!

what a nice salmon

I can't believe it

- it's fat
- it's beautiful

- congrats Edvin
- thank you

My first salmon from a lake

It's really fat and nice Edvin

- it's well fed
- you can say that

Look at this fish

I'm so happy now

such a nice fish

The salmon was close to 4kg

and after just 1 hour of fishing
we've caught 2/3 species

the last few year there have been 
so many salmon in Vättern

back in the days there where 
fewer salmon here

but higher average weight

the worlds biggest salmon caught in
a lake was 20,4kg

and was caught here in Vättern

from shore by Dennis Gustafsson 1997

In that time a salmon even close
to that haven't been caught

But on a good day you might catch
up to 10 salmon

we where not the only ones
fishing just this day

Vättern is the second biggest lake
in Sweden

a popular lake to fish

you can be out trolling like this

but also fish from land and cast

then you need long rods to
cast far out

I can see 10 people here behind us

It's fun when you can vary your fishing

you don't need a boat to fish for salmon

When you're out trolling at Vättern

we have different lures than we're used to

here we have some special lures

I've got 3 different types here

the first one is a spoon

pretty thin and moves a lot

then we have this type

looks like a bleak

try to look like a real fish

as you can see it's bent

It spins when you fish with it

and lure more fish

at last we have this one

It looks really special

it's plastic and weighs almost nothing

it's very irratic in the water

so 3 different lures with 
3 different movements

and you can figure out what they
want just that day

during summer you can fish for arctic char
buy fishing them vertically

with often good result

arctic char is the one species
that is easisest to catch

so not a surprise that arctic char
was the first fish we caught

and after that salmon we just need
a sea trout

Sea trout is as you might know
a species that is hard to catch

a bite !

It's on the surface

I think it's a salmon
it fights really hard

You can easily loose these salmons

You don't want to push them to hard

You can't fight them for to long either

we have 30 meters left

here it comes

Is it a salmon? or?

it's an arctic char

the arctic char in Vättern is one of the few
wild ones still left in Sweden

they are born naturally in Vättern

each fish caught is extra valuable

They like cold and clear water

and are often found on the deep
especially during summer

To protect them there are strict rules

You can only take home 2 chars/person

and the minimum lenght is 50cm

but even though we're happy about 
catching arctic char, the clock is ticking

and to reach our goal we really
need to catch a sea trout very soon

this one feels better

feels heavy

It's jumping!

It's big!

Listen to this

- what is it?
- a big salmon

- seriously
- yeah I saw it

- you want the net?
- yes

It's a salmon

I'm nervous now

it's going deep now, but I saw it 
was a salmon

It was on the surface before

Please don't let go

- Can you see it?
- I can see something shiny

- it's an arctic char
- no

Looks like I'm the arctic char master

It looks decent

I thought it was a salmon

well well It's a fish

are you ready?

yes, there we go
it's a nice one

It's big, and long

what an arctic char

It behaved like a salmon

It almost jumped on the surface

and then went deeper

You never know

but so much fun

this one is longer than the previous

not that fat though

but still really nice one

I really love arctic char even though
I really want. a salmon or trout today

You need a lot of gear to go out
trolling here at Vättern

the easiest way if you dan't have 
this much gear

is to go out here with a fishing guide

Rade has got 10 different rods

we can have a look at the closest one

this is how it looks like

you need a line counter on it

to be able to know how much line
you have out there

and then a nylon line

the rod is quite short, only 7 feet
a inline rod

which mean that the line goes
inside the rod

so you get the best feeling reeling
in the fish

and less risk of tangle

It's a good idea to go out with a guide
so you learn a lot

You get some tips

I can really recomend trolling.se

have a look at their website

we've fought hard all day long

arctic char delivered

and a salmon caught out of nowhere

but the trout has kept hidden

the hours fly by and Vättern 
start to feel quiet

This is the time we need that last bite

one last sign before we need to give up

fish!

It's on the surface

It's here

- already?
- yes

what is it?

it's shiny

I think it's a salmon or a trout

it's a trout

YES!

I got a trout aswell

This is my best day of all this year

one trout and a salmon

a grand slam for me

I haven't caught a arctic char yet but

but I've caught a salmon and a trout

this is too small to take home as food

So I'll release it quick
