WEBVTT 00:00:02.567 --> 00:00:07.461 I love to explore new waters 00:00:07.777 --> 00:00:11.002 You never know what you might catch 00:00:11.002 --> 00:00:12.129 How big they are 00:00:12.154 --> 00:00:16.513 and how hard it's gonna be to find great spots 00:00:17.093 --> 00:00:21.582 But if you work hard and in the end fins a good spot 00:00:22.593 --> 00:00:26.044 The reward can be really big 00:00:27.212 --> 00:00:29.448 I've got a friend named Niclas Edström 00:00:29.448 --> 00:00:34.929 we've fished together for years and caught a lot of nice fish 00:00:35.305 --> 00:00:38.929 I'ts been a while since we filmed together 00:00:38.929 --> 00:00:42.399 But now it's finally time to do that again 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.003 The idea is that Niclas and I are gonna explore a river 00:00:46.003 --> 00:00:48.569 that I've inly fished in once before 00:00:48.569 --> 00:00:53.362 I didn't caught any huge fish but it felt like it had potential 00:00:53.741 --> 00:00:55.842 for huge perch 00:00:57.918 --> 00:00:59.169 It's heavy 00:00:59.228 --> 00:01:00.307 a nice perch 00:01:00.307 --> 00:01:02.483 It's bigger than 1 kg 00:01:03.321 --> 00:01:07.035 I'm from Linköping and have driven 2 hours down in Sweden 00:01:07.035 --> 00:01:08.748 To have a look at this river 00:01:09.214 --> 00:01:12.855 I usually fish in another river 00:01:12.855 --> 00:01:17.211 And have a lot of experience in how to fish rivers like this 00:01:17.211 --> 00:01:20.543 I think we're gonna be able to crack the code in this river aswell 00:01:21.050 --> 00:01:25.883 You need to gather a lot of informationen when you're exploring rivers like this 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.306 look at google maps and depts 00:01:30.306 --> 00:01:32.869 and try to find some nice backwater 00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:38.164 In the winter the perch are often stationary in deep holes 00:01:38.772 --> 00:01:42.439 you need to fish the lure really slow 00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:49.847 It's always fun to set up a goal when you try a new water 00:01:49.847 --> 00:01:53.525 I think that a 1kg perch in here are possible 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 00:02:00.631 --> 00:02:04.702 But first we'll read some of your comments 00:02:04.702 --> 00:02:08.625 Sebastian want us to say hi to his son Lukas 00:02:08.842 --> 00:02:11.263 He's been ill for 5 days 00:02:11.263 --> 00:02:14.924 It sucks to be sick for so long and not be able to fish 00:02:14.924 --> 00:02:17.962 So here's a big hello from us Lukas 00:02:18.228 --> 00:02:23.206 We have a comment from Bergling saying that Niclas are gonna be in the videos 00:02:23.206 --> 00:02:26.676 I haven't been in a video since fall 2020 00:02:26.676 --> 00:02:30.009 But now in 2025 it's time to use all the gear 00:02:30.009 --> 00:02:32.371 and show how to catch a real pig 00:02:36.374 --> 00:02:39.394 you can hardly believe it's middle of winter 00:02:39.649 --> 00:02:42.331 it's almost 6 degrees outside 00:02:42.674 --> 00:02:45.534 no ice in the edges with no wind 00:02:45.534 --> 00:02:48.969 it's suppose to be -15 degrees now 00:02:48.969 --> 00:02:51.533 but we're grateful for good weather 00:02:51.742 --> 00:02:53.681 So that we can fish 00:02:53.772 --> 00:02:56.326 Tobbe and I have been fishing together for many years 00:02:56.326 --> 00:02:58.483 It's been a few years since we filmed together 00:02:58.483 --> 00:03:01.597 It'll be exciting and fun 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.645 I fished in this river once before 00:03:12.101 --> 00:03:15.913 It was first most 2 spots that we caught fish on 00:03:16.694 --> 00:03:20.494 It was this backwater and a spot further down stream 00:03:20.982 --> 00:03:24.601 there is a current just by the ice 00:03:24.601 --> 00:03:27.975 going to a dept of 2-3 meters 00:03:27.975 --> 00:03:30.005 we caught most of our fish here back then 00:03:30.005 --> 00:03:36.686 It's always a good idea to start at a spot you know hold fish 00:03:36.686 --> 00:03:41.830 And when you then find out what works for the day 00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:45.443 Then you can start searching at other spots 00:03:45.790 --> 00:03:50.374 I like to fish with crawfish imitations when fishing in rivers 00:03:51.228 --> 00:03:54.009 I'm gonna start with a carabus 00:03:54.009 --> 00:03:56.270 I've frerigged this one 00:03:57.079 --> 00:04:00.944 the weight up here runs free on the leader 00:04:00.944 --> 00:04:05.207 that made the lure swim different and more flowing 00:04:05.207 --> 00:04:07.262 It can be really hot this time of year 00:04:09.229 --> 00:04:13.676 looking at the sonar it's only 0,6 degrees in the water 00:04:14.886 --> 00:04:19.747 The perch might strike good but very careful 00:04:19.747 --> 00:04:22.388 So we need to fish really slow 00:04:22.388 --> 00:04:25.883 I'll try a monkey ned in the color junebug 00:04:25.883 --> 00:04:30.466 I can bounce it slowly along the bottom 00:04:32.172 --> 00:04:34.823 The goal is to catch a 1kg perch each 00:04:34.823 --> 00:04:40.051 The big perch often want bigger lure so I'll try the bigger monkey ned 00:04:40.295 --> 00:04:43.243 Let's hope we can clear our goal for today Niclas 00:04:45.538 --> 00:04:47.390 let's catch them 00:04:48.251 --> 00:04:51.900 - you have faith in this spot? - It feels hot 00:04:52.756 --> 00:04:55.093 It looks promising 00:05:02.169 --> 00:05:06.085 It would be nice to have the first contact fast 00:05:06.085 --> 00:05:09.430 The you know that there are fish here 00:05:12.406 --> 00:05:14.457 was that a contact? 00:05:16.516 --> 00:05:17.741 I got one! 00:05:19.185 --> 00:05:21.287 Just by the edge of the current 00:05:22.735 --> 00:05:26.225 Not the biggest fish but it's a first 00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:30.022 It's a recipe that we're doing something right 00:05:30.321 --> 00:05:33.437 Look what a nice perch 00:05:33.917 --> 00:05:36.033 really high perch 00:05:36.252 --> 00:05:39.853 That's a good sign, if they're long and high thy are heavy 00:05:40.799 --> 00:05:43.262 it's kinda red aswell 00:05:43.473 --> 00:05:45.688 a very nice perch 00:05:45.988 --> 00:05:50.766 Ned worm are usually efficent at this time of year 00:05:51.897 --> 00:05:58.474 This one will have to swim back 00:05:58.474 --> 00:06:00.635 and we keep on grinding 00:06:00.635 --> 00:06:02.981 But at least we know now that they are here 00:06:02.981 --> 00:06:06.182 well done Tobbe, we have a recipe that they are here 00:06:06.182 --> 00:06:09.814 we'll keep on grinding and see if we can catch another one 00:06:21.569 --> 00:06:23.503 I got another one! 00:06:24.125 --> 00:06:26.508 2 casts and 2 fish 00:06:27.733 --> 00:06:29.400 A little bit bigger 00:06:30.314 --> 00:06:32.448 - you got one aswell? - yes yes 00:06:33.025 --> 00:06:36.098 - is it better? - biggest of the day 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.669 He just took the whole carabus 00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.017 really hot 00:06:45.017 --> 00:06:46.992 they are at that edge 00:06:47.444 --> 00:06:49.994 a 0,3 kg perch at least 00:06:51.155 --> 00:06:54.419 not 1kg yet but we're getting there 00:06:55.677 --> 00:06:58.260 double strike is always nice 00:06:58.260 --> 00:07:00.850 this one is as small as my first one 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.233 this ned might deliver small fish 00:07:04.233 --> 00:07:07.286 But we only caught 3 fish so far 00:07:12.667 --> 00:07:15.551 They can be really stiff when it's cold 00:07:15.551 --> 00:07:18.877 They can be slow when we release them 00:07:23.308 --> 00:07:25.974 It would've been so nice to catch a 1kg now 00:07:25.974 --> 00:07:30.192 You fish with better confidence once you catch a few fish 00:07:30.192 --> 00:07:32.495 It's just a matter of time! 00:07:32.775 --> 00:07:34.341 - better? - yeah better 00:07:34.341 --> 00:07:35.995 a better fish! 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.120 Look Niclas it might be a.... 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:40.916 NO! 00:07:40.916 --> 00:07:42.069 It's a pike 00:07:42.367 --> 00:07:45.281 it's a pike, I thought it was a big perch 00:07:45.281 --> 00:07:47.866 Of course the pike eat worms too 00:07:48.760 --> 00:07:51.209 He fooled me 00:07:51.798 --> 00:07:54.147 It looked like a perch 00:07:54.695 --> 00:08:01.218 These pikes are the perfect size that make you think it's a perch 00:08:02.295 --> 00:08:06.295 It's important to look if the leader will hold up 00:08:06.295 --> 00:08:09.073 and it did'nt so I need a new one 00:08:09.073 --> 00:08:12.406 I would'nt want that to happen if I caught a dream perch 00:08:12.406 --> 00:08:14.659 I would've cried all night 00:08:25.644 --> 00:08:27.910 we've arrived at a new spot now 00:08:27.910 --> 00:08:31.004 we caught a few fish at the other spot but it went quiet 00:08:31.004 --> 00:08:33.141 so we tried and find a new spot 00:08:33.141 --> 00:08:35.705 We are at a backwater that we really believe in 00:08:35.705 --> 00:08:39.199 Perch are often found in the edge of the current 00:08:39.199 --> 00:08:40.935 where the water is calmer 00:08:40.935 --> 00:08:43.932 we're gonna start fishing here now 00:08:44.642 --> 00:08:48.790 it's often easy to find spots like this in rivers 00:08:48.790 --> 00:08:52.136 You can have a look at Google maps 00:08:52.136 --> 00:08:58.025 and when you arrive at the river you can fish the spots fairly quick 00:08:58.596 --> 00:09:03.425 are there perch that want to bite they bite straight away 00:09:03.425 --> 00:09:06.926 a few fast casts here and we'll see if this spot can deliver 00:09:12.568 --> 00:09:15.136 it's some grass to the right 00:09:15.694 --> 00:09:16.464 There! 00:09:16.464 --> 00:09:17.204 I got one! 00:09:17.204 --> 00:09:17.839 It's big! 00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:18.597 BIG! 00:09:18.633 --> 00:09:19.845 I think this one is a perch 00:09:19.845 --> 00:09:21.437 a really fat perch 00:09:21.786 --> 00:09:22.968 Look at it 00:09:23.967 --> 00:09:25.800 Look how fat it is 00:09:25.832 --> 00:09:27.508 definitly the biggest one for today 00:09:27.508 --> 00:09:28.661 a really nice one 00:09:29.007 --> 00:09:31.488 it's a carrot perch 00:09:31.488 --> 00:09:35.365 You could say it's eaten a lot of carrots but I don't think it has 00:09:35.365 --> 00:09:38.884 It's so orange because it's eaten a lot of crayfish 00:09:42.510 --> 00:09:47.111 hence the color and that's why it has become so fat 00:09:47.111 --> 00:09:49.829 The belly can become orange 00:09:49.829 --> 00:09:54.026 I'll release this one, it's about 0,5kg so only half our goal 00:09:54.026 --> 00:09:55.671 bye bye 00:09:56.061 --> 00:09:58.109 The sun came forward 00:09:58.109 --> 00:10:02.031 A weather different can make the perch become more active 00:10:03.308 --> 00:10:06.198 So we just cast again
