1 00:00:02,567 --> 00:00:07,461 I love to explore new waters 2 00:00:07,777 --> 00:00:11,002 You never know what you might catch 3 00:00:11,002 --> 00:00:12,129 How big they are 4 00:00:12,154 --> 00:00:16,513 and how hard it's gonna be to find great spots 5 00:00:17,093 --> 00:00:21,582 But if you work hard and in the end fins a good spot 6 00:00:22,593 --> 00:00:26,044 The reward can be really big 7 00:00:27,212 --> 00:00:29,448 I've got a friend named Niclas Edström 8 00:00:29,448 --> 00:00:34,929 we've fished together for years and caught a lot of nice fish 9 00:00:35,305 --> 00:00:38,929 I'ts been a while since we filmed together 10 00:00:38,929 --> 00:00:42,399 But now it's finally time to do that again 11 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:46,003 The idea is that Niclas and I are gonna explore a river 12 00:00:46,003 --> 00:00:48,569 that I've inly fished in once before 13 00:00:48,569 --> 00:00:53,362 I didn't caught any huge fish but it felt like it had potential 14 00:00:53,741 --> 00:00:55,842 for huge perch 15 00:00:57,918 --> 00:00:59,169 It's heavy 16 00:00:59,228 --> 00:01:00,307 a nice perch 17 00:01:00,307 --> 00:01:02,483 It's bigger than 1 kg 18 00:01:03,321 --> 00:01:07,035 I'm from Linköping and have driven 2 hours down in Sweden 19 00:01:07,035 --> 00:01:08,748 To have a look at this river 20 00:01:09,214 --> 00:01:12,855 I usually fish in another river 21 00:01:12,855 --> 00:01:17,211 And have a lot of experience in how to fish rivers like this 22 00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:20,543 I think we're gonna be able to crack the code in this river aswell 23 00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:25,883 You need to gather a lot of informationen when you're exploring rivers like this 24 00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:30,306 look at google maps and depts 25 00:01:30,306 --> 00:01:32,869 and try to find some nice backwater 26 00:01:33,001 --> 00:01:38,164 In the winter the perch are often stationary in deep holes 27 00:01:38,772 --> 00:01:42,439 you need to fish the lure really slow 28 00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:49,847 It's always fun to set up a goal when you try a new water 29 00:01:49,847 --> 00:01:53,525 I think that a 1kg perch in here are possible 30 00:01:53,525 --> 00:01:59,399 so the goal for today is that both Tobbe and I are gonna catch a 1kg perch 31 00:02:00,631 --> 00:02:04,702 But first we'll read some of your comments 32 00:02:04,702 --> 00:02:08,625 Sebastian want us to say hi to his son Lukas 33 00:02:08,842 --> 00:02:11,263 He's been ill for 5 days 34 00:02:11,263 --> 00:02:14,924 It sucks to be sick for so long and not be able to fish 35 00:02:14,924 --> 00:02:17,962 So here's a big hello from us Lukas 36 00:02:18,228 --> 00:02:23,206 We have a comment from Bergling saying that Niclas are gonna be in the videos 37 00:02:23,206 --> 00:02:26,676 I haven't been in a video since fall 2020 38 00:02:26,676 --> 00:02:30,009 But now in 2025 it's time to use all the gear 39 00:02:30,009 --> 00:02:32,371 and show how to catch a real pig 40 00:02:36,374 --> 00:02:39,394 you can hardly believe it's middle of winter 41 00:02:39,649 --> 00:02:42,331 it's almost 6 degrees outside 42 00:02:42,674 --> 00:02:45,534 no ice in the edges with no wind 43 00:02:45,534 --> 00:02:48,969 it's suppose to be -15 degrees now 44 00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:51,533 but we're grateful for good weather 45 00:02:51,742 --> 00:02:53,681 So that we can fish 46 00:02:53,772 --> 00:02:56,326 Tobbe and I have been fishing together for many years 47 00:02:56,326 --> 00:02:58,483 It's been a few years since we filmed together 48 00:02:58,483 --> 00:03:01,597 It'll be exciting and fun 49 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,645 I fished in this river once before 50 00:03:12,101 --> 00:03:15,913 It was first most 2 spots that we caught fish on 51 00:03:16,694 --> 00:03:20,494 It was this backwater and a spot further down stream 52 00:03:20,982 --> 00:03:24,601 there is a current just by the ice 53 00:03:24,601 --> 00:03:27,975 going to a dept of 2-3 meters 54 00:03:27,975 --> 00:03:30,005 we caught most of our fish here back then 55 00:03:30,005 --> 00:03:36,686 It's always a good idea to start at a spot you know hold fish 56 00:03:36,686 --> 00:03:41,830 And when you then find out what works for the day 57 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:45,443 Then you can start searching at other spots 58 00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:50,374 I like to fish with crawfish imitations when fishing in rivers 59 00:03:51,228 --> 00:03:54,009 I'm gonna start with a carabus 60 00:03:54,009 --> 00:03:56,270 I've frerigged this one 61 00:03:57,079 --> 00:04:00,944 the weight up here runs free on the leader 62 00:04:00,944 --> 00:04:05,207 that made the lure swim different and more flowing 63 00:04:05,207 --> 00:04:07,262 It can be really hot this time of year 64 00:04:09,229 --> 00:04:13,676 looking at the sonar it's only 0,6 degrees in the water 65 00:04:14,886 --> 00:04:19,747 The perch might strike good but very careful 66 00:04:19,747 --> 00:04:22,388 So we need to fish really slow 67 00:04:22,388 --> 00:04:25,883 I'll try a monkey ned in the color junebug 68 00:04:25,883 --> 00:04:30,466 I can bounce it slowly along the bottom 69 00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:34,823 The goal is to catch a 1kg perch each 70 00:04:34,823 --> 00:04:40,051 The big perch often want bigger lure so I'll try the bigger monkey ned 71 00:04:40,295 --> 00:04:43,243 Let's hope we can clear our goal for today Niclas 72 00:04:45,538 --> 00:04:47,390 let's catch them 73 00:04:48,251 --> 00:04:51,900 - you have faith in this spot? - It feels hot 74 00:04:52,756 --> 00:04:55,093 It looks promising 75 00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:06,085 It would be nice to have the first contact fast 76 00:05:06,085 --> 00:05:09,430 The you know that there are fish here 77 00:05:12,406 --> 00:05:14,457 was that a contact? 78 00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:17,741 I got one! 79 00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,287 Just by the edge of the current 80 00:05:22,735 --> 00:05:26,225 Not the biggest fish but it's a first 81 00:05:27,379 --> 00:05:30,022 It's a recipe that we're doing something right 82 00:05:30,321 --> 00:05:33,437 Look what a nice perch 83 00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:36,033 really high perch 84 00:05:36,252 --> 00:05:39,853 That's a good sign, if they're long and high thy are heavy 85 00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:43,262 it's kinda red aswell 86 00:05:43,473 --> 00:05:45,688 a very nice perch 87 00:05:45,988 --> 00:05:50,766 Ned worm are usually efficent at this time of year 88 00:05:51,897 --> 00:05:58,474 This one will have to swim back 89 00:05:58,474 --> 00:06:00,635 and we keep on grinding 90 00:06:00,635 --> 00:06:02,981 But at least we know now that they are here 91 00:06:02,981 --> 00:06:06,182 well done Tobbe, we have a recipe that they are here 92 00:06:06,182 --> 00:06:09,814 we'll keep on grinding and see if we can catch another one 93 00:06:21,569 --> 00:06:23,503 I got another one! 94 00:06:24,125 --> 00:06:26,508 2 casts and 2 fish 95 00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:29,400 A little bit bigger 96 00:06:30,314 --> 00:06:32,448 - you got one aswell? - yes yes 97 00:06:33,025 --> 00:06:36,098 - is it better? - biggest of the day 98 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:42,669 He just took the whole carabus 99 00:06:43,699 --> 00:06:45,017 really hot 100 00:06:45,017 --> 00:06:46,992 they are at that edge 101 00:06:47,444 --> 00:06:49,994 a 0,3 kg perch at least 102 00:06:51,155 --> 00:06:54,419 not 1kg yet but we're getting there 103 00:06:55,677 --> 00:06:58,260 double strike is always nice 104 00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:00,850 this one is as small as my first one 105 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,233 this ned might deliver small fish 106 00:07:04,233 --> 00:07:07,286 But we only caught 3 fish so far 107 00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:15,551 They can be really stiff when it's cold 108 00:07:15,551 --> 00:07:18,877 They can be slow when we release them 109 00:07:23,308 --> 00:07:25,974 It would've been so nice to catch a 1kg now 110 00:07:25,974 --> 00:07:30,192 You fish with better confidence once you catch a few fish 111 00:07:30,192 --> 00:07:32,495 It's just a matter of time! 112 00:07:32,775 --> 00:07:34,341 - better? - yeah better 113 00:07:34,341 --> 00:07:35,995 a better fish! 114 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120 Look Niclas it might be a.... 115 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,916 NO! 116 00:07:40,916 --> 00:07:42,069 It's a pike 117 00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:45,281 it's a pike, I thought it was a big perch 118 00:07:45,281 --> 00:07:47,866 Of course the pike eat worms too 119 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,209 He fooled me 120 00:07:51,798 --> 00:07:54,147 It looked like a perch 121 00:07:54,695 --> 00:08:01,218 These pikes are the perfect size that make you think it's a perch 122 00:08:02,295 --> 00:08:06,295 It's important to look if the leader will hold up 123 00:08:06,295 --> 00:08:09,073 and it did'nt so I need a new one 124 00:08:09,073 --> 00:08:12,406 I would'nt want that to happen if I caught a dream perch 125 00:08:12,406 --> 00:08:14,659 I would've cried all night 126 00:08:25,644 --> 00:08:27,910 we've arrived at a new spot now 127 00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:31,004 we caught a few fish at the other spot but it went quiet 128 00:08:31,004 --> 00:08:33,141 so we tried and find a new spot 129 00:08:33,141 --> 00:08:35,705 We are at a backwater that we really believe in 130 00:08:35,705 --> 00:08:39,199 Perch are often found in the edge of the current 131 00:08:39,199 --> 00:08:40,935 where the water is calmer 132 00:08:40,935 --> 00:08:43,932 we're gonna start fishing here now 133 00:08:44,642 --> 00:08:48,790 it's often easy to find spots like this in rivers 134 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:52,136 You can have a look at Google maps 135 00:08:52,136 --> 00:08:58,025 and when you arrive at the river you can fish the spots fairly quick 136 00:08:58,596 --> 00:09:03,425 are there perch that want to bite they bite straight away 137 00:09:03,425 --> 00:09:06,926 a few fast casts here and we'll see if this spot can deliver
