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

00:10:10.365 --> 00:10:12.834
fun to catch more fish

00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.677
I want a kilo perch now

00:10:16.191 --> 00:10:16.904
NO!

00:10:16.904 --> 00:10:18.387
that one looked nice

00:10:18.387 --> 00:10:19.816
that was a better one

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:24.295
please bite again

00:10:25.455 --> 00:10:26.587
there!

00:10:26.794 --> 00:10:28.302
it's a small one

00:10:29.615 --> 00:10:31.466
not that small

00:10:32.775 --> 00:10:37.347
You can see it's different families
of perch in this river

00:10:37.347 --> 00:10:39.923
some of them eat a lot of crayfish

00:10:40.136 --> 00:10:42.686
and this one is more pale

00:10:42.686 --> 00:10:45.609
this one probably eat roach or bleek

00:10:45.609 --> 00:10:48.186
They have different colors depending
on what they eat

00:10:48.186 --> 00:10:51.641
I'll release this one 
and we keep on grinding

00:10:54.703 --> 00:10:59.226
It would be so nice if we could
catch a real pig today

00:10:59.785 --> 00:11:01.475
I got one!

00:11:01.995 --> 00:11:06.099
I got a fish aswell now
it was my turn

00:11:06.541 --> 00:11:08.268
really fat

00:11:09.278 --> 00:11:13.093
I did as Tobbe and tried a ned aswell

00:11:13.766 --> 00:11:16.000
Look how scarred it is

00:11:16.793 --> 00:11:20.460
really weird, on the other side to

00:11:21.064 --> 00:11:23.130
Let's see if it's a crayfish perch or not

00:11:24.115 --> 00:11:25.148
It was

00:11:25.263 --> 00:11:27.116
look at all those dots

00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:32.325
a really nice fish

00:11:32.325 --> 00:11:35.220
release it and hope to catch a kilo perch

00:11:37.762 --> 00:11:40.644
It's wonderful to
be standing here in January

00:11:40.644 --> 00:11:42.433
It's really warm and nice

00:11:42.671 --> 00:11:45.902
It would be even better if we could
catch a really big one

00:11:45.902 --> 00:11:48.133
But I think we'll do it if we
just keep on grinding

00:11:48.133 --> 00:11:52.367
There are not that many that fish with ned
even though it's so efficent

00:11:53.896 --> 00:11:57.991
It look ugly
like a stump

00:11:59.512 --> 00:12:03.227
but for some reason the perch love it

00:12:03.629 --> 00:12:06.222
You can't fish ned to slow

00:12:06.222 --> 00:12:09.711
do some slow twitches
with a light jighead

00:12:09.711 --> 00:12:12.221
and let it jump over the bottom

00:12:12.221 --> 00:12:15.712
and do some pauses so it stand still

00:12:16.728 --> 00:12:20.728
Niclas did fish with freerig

00:12:20.817 --> 00:12:24.285
and as soon as he changed to ned
he caught more fish

00:12:24.285 --> 00:12:27.618
so we keep on grinding with ned

00:12:36.625 --> 00:12:37.858
I got one!

00:12:38.353 --> 00:12:39.902
It feels better

00:12:41.477 --> 00:12:43.274
It's huge right?

00:12:44.789 --> 00:12:46.531
what's happening Tobbe?

00:12:48.988 --> 00:12:51.772
I think it might be 1kg

00:12:52.364 --> 00:12:55.274
- already? after just half the day?
-I think it is

00:12:55.274 --> 00:12:58.072
Let's have a look at it then

00:12:58.256 --> 00:13:00.206
I think it's a perch

00:13:00.206 --> 00:13:02.528
Well how heavy is the perch then?

00:13:02.973 --> 00:13:05.255
8-10kg maybe

00:13:05.313 --> 00:13:07.451
- No Hg I mean
- you think so?

00:13:07.576 --> 00:13:10.837
It's long, maybe 40cm

00:13:10.837 --> 00:13:13.393
I think it's at least 900g

00:13:13.629 --> 00:13:18.265
but with some luck it can be 1kg

00:13:19.927 --> 00:13:25.503
a perch on 1kg is a really big perch

00:13:25.974 --> 00:13:28.289
let's measure it

00:13:30.184 --> 00:13:32.934
quickly measure how long it is

00:13:34.406 --> 00:13:35.922
the pig sound

00:13:35.922 --> 00:13:37.337
It's long Niclas

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:39.820
- yeah it is
- it's 45cm

00:13:41.441 --> 00:13:43.678
It's really long

00:13:45.058 --> 00:13:47.593
wow, that could be a 1kg perch

00:13:47.593 --> 00:13:50.838
45cm perch in this river is really good

00:13:50.838 --> 00:13:52.980
There aren't that many of them here

00:13:53.665 --> 00:13:57.404
And not that fat because it's winter

00:13:57.963 --> 00:14:04.379
If I caught it in March/April it could've
easily be 2-3hg more

00:14:04.493 --> 00:14:07.416
But I think that it might be over 1kg

00:14:07.654 --> 00:14:09.485
So let's see

00:14:10.531 --> 00:14:14.809
We'll weigh it in our kitty cat bag

00:14:15.181 --> 00:14:17.247
let's put the scale to zero

00:14:18.366 --> 00:14:19.391
get in there

00:14:21.131 --> 00:14:22.997
the moment of truth

00:14:23.462 --> 00:14:25.128
It's just over

00:14:26.574 --> 00:14:28.092
1,02kg

00:14:28.363 --> 00:14:29.805
Yes 1,02 kg

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.313
My goal is cleared

00:14:32.313 --> 00:14:37.559
But our goal is that both of us is 
gonna catch a 1kg perch

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.103
So now it's Niclas turn

00:14:40.103 --> 00:14:42.395
I'm glad for that fish

00:14:42.801 --> 00:14:45.133
The biggest one I've caught in this river

00:14:45.133 --> 00:14:46.692
They are here indeed

00:14:46.692 --> 00:14:49.980
Tobbe is check
so now it's my turn

00:14:50.628 --> 00:14:52.972
I'll keep on grinding with my ned

00:14:53.827 --> 00:14:58.867
This monkey ned is so eaten
and the hook is loose

00:14:59.006 --> 00:15:01.289
I have a great tip for that

00:15:01.469 --> 00:15:06.539
The worm is round so you can just
turn it

00:15:08.095 --> 00:15:11.377
and put it through another spot

00:15:12.252 --> 00:15:15.736
And it's like a new lure again
