0:00:02.567,0:00:07.461
I love to explore new waters

0:00:07.777,0:00:11.002
You never know what you [br]might catch

0:00:11.002,0:00:12.129
How big they are

0:00:12.154,0:00:16.513
and how hard it's gonna be to[br]find great spots

0:00:17.093,0:00:21.582
But if you work hard and in the[br]end fins a good spot

0:00:22.593,0:00:26.044
The reward can be really big

0:00:27.212,0:00:29.448
I've got a friend named Niclas Edström

0:00:29.448,0:00:34.929
we've fished together for years and[br]caught a lot of nice fish

0:00:35.305,0:00:38.929
I'ts been a while since we filmed together

0:00:38.929,0:00:42.399
But now it's finally time to do that again

0:00:42.399,0:00:46.003
The idea is that Niclas and I are gonna[br]explore a river

0:00:46.003,0:00:48.569
that I've inly fished in once before

0:00:48.569,0:00:53.362
I didn't caught any huge fish but it felt[br]like it had potential

0:00:53.741,0:00:55.842
for huge perch

0:00:57.918,0:00:59.169
It's heavy

0:00:59.228,0:01:00.307
a nice perch

0:01:00.307,0:01:02.483
It's bigger than 1 kg

0:01:03.321,0:01:07.035
I'm from Linköping and have driven[br]2 hours down in Sweden

0:01:07.035,0:01:08.748
To have a look at this river

0:01:09.214,0:01:12.855
I usually fish in another river

0:01:12.855,0:01:17.211
And have a lot of experience in[br]how to fish rivers like this

0:01:17.211,0:01:20.543
I think we're gonna be able to crack[br]the code in this river aswell

0:01:21.050,0:01:25.883
You need to gather a lot of informationen[br]when you're exploring rivers like this

0:01:26.790,0:01:30.306
look at google maps and depts

0:01:30.306,0:01:32.869
and try to find some nice backwater

0:01:33.001,0:01:38.164
In the winter the perch are often [br]stationary in deep holes

0:01:38.772,0:01:42.439
you need to fish the lure really slow

0:01:44.780,0:01:49.847
It's always fun to set up a goal when[br]you try a new water

0:01:49.847,0:01:53.525
I think that a 1kg perch[br]in here are possible

0:01:53.525,0:01:59.399
so the goal for today is that both[br]Tobbe and I are gonna catch a 1kg perch

0:02:00.631,0:02:04.702
But first we'll read some of your comments

0:02:04.702,0:02:08.625
Sebastian want us to say hi to [br]his son Lukas

0:02:08.842,0:02:11.263
He's been ill for 5 days

0:02:11.263,0:02:14.924
It sucks to be sick for so long and[br]not be able to fish

0:02:14.924,0:02:17.962
So here's a big hello from us Lukas

0:02:18.228,0:02:23.206
We have a comment from Bergling saying [br]that Niclas are gonna be in the videos

0:02:23.206,0:02:26.676
I haven't been in a video since fall 2020

0:02:26.676,0:02:30.009
But now in 2025 it's time to use [br]all the gear

0:02:30.009,0:02:32.371
and show how to catch a real pig

0:02:36.374,0:02:39.394
you can hardly believe it's [br]middle of winter

0:02:39.649,0:02:42.331
it's almost 6 degrees outside

0:02:42.674,0:02:45.534
no ice in the edges with no wind

0:02:45.534,0:02:48.969
it's suppose to be -15 degrees now

0:02:48.969,0:02:51.533
but we're grateful for good weather

0:02:51.742,0:02:53.681
So that we can fish

0:02:53.772,0:02:56.326
Tobbe and I have been fishing [br]together for many years

0:02:56.326,0:02:58.483
It's been a few years[br]since we filmed together

0:02:58.483,0:03:01.597
It'll be exciting and fun

0:03:08.680,0:03:11.645
I fished in this river once before

0:03:12.101,0:03:15.913
It was first most 2 spots that[br]we caught fish on

0:03:16.694,0:03:20.494
It was this backwater and a spot[br]further down stream

0:03:20.982,0:03:24.601
there is a current just by the ice

0:03:24.601,0:03:27.975
going to a dept of 2-3 meters

0:03:27.975,0:03:30.005
we caught most of our fish here back then

0:03:30.005,0:03:36.686
It's always a good idea to start at a[br]spot you know hold fish

0:03:36.686,0:03:41.830
And when you then find out what works[br]for the day

0:03:41.830,0:03:45.443
Then you can start searching [br]at other spots

0:03:45.790,0:03:50.374
I like to fish with crawfish imitations[br]when fishing in rivers

0:03:51.228,0:03:54.009
I'm gonna start with a carabus

0:03:54.009,0:03:56.270
I've frerigged this one

0:03:57.079,0:04:00.944
the weight up here runs free on the leader

0:04:00.944,0:04:05.207
that made the lure swim different[br]and more flowing

0:04:05.207,0:04:07.262
It can be really hot this time of year

0:04:09.229,0:04:13.676
looking at the sonar [br]it's only 0,6 degrees in the water

0:04:14.886,0:04:19.747
The perch might strike good [br]but very careful

0:04:19.747,0:04:22.388
So we need to fish really slow

0:04:22.388,0:04:25.883
I'll try a monkey ned in the color junebug

0:04:25.883,0:04:30.466
I can bounce it slowly along the bottom

0:04:32.172,0:04:34.823
The goal is to catch a 1kg perch each

0:04:34.823,0:04:40.051
The big perch often want bigger lure[br]so I'll try the bigger monkey ned

0:04:40.295,0:04:43.243
Let's hope we can clear our goal[br]for today Niclas

0:04:45.538,0:04:47.390
let's catch them

0:04:48.251,0:04:51.900
- you have faith in this spot?[br]- It feels hot

0:04:52.756,0:04:55.093
It looks promising

0:05:02.169,0:05:06.085
It would be nice[br]to have the first contact fast

0:05:06.085,0:05:09.430
The you know that there are fish here

0:05:12.406,0:05:14.457
was that a contact?

0:05:16.516,0:05:17.741
I got one!

0:05:19.185,0:05:21.287
Just by the edge of the current

0:05:22.735,0:05:26.225
Not the biggest fish[br]but it's a first

0:05:27.379,0:05:30.022
It's a recipe that[br]we're doing something right

0:05:30.321,0:05:33.437
Look what a nice perch

0:05:33.917,0:05:36.033
really high perch

0:05:36.252,0:05:39.853
That's a good sign, if they're long[br]and high thy are heavy

0:05:40.799,0:05:43.262
it's kinda red aswell

0:05:43.473,0:05:45.688
a very nice perch

0:05:45.988,0:05:50.766
Ned worm are usually efficent[br]at this time of year

0:05:51.897,0:05:58.474
This one will have to swim back

0:05:58.474,0:06:00.635
and we keep on grinding

0:06:00.635,0:06:02.981
But at least we know now that[br]they are here

0:06:02.981,0:06:06.182
well done Tobbe, we have a recipe that[br]they are here

0:06:06.182,0:06:09.814
we'll keep on grinding and see if[br]we can catch another one

0:06:21.569,0:06:23.503
I got another one!

0:06:24.125,0:06:26.508
2 casts and 2 fish

0:06:27.733,0:06:29.400
A little bit bigger

0:06:30.314,0:06:32.448
- you got one aswell?[br]- yes yes

0:06:33.025,0:06:36.098
- is it better?[br]- biggest of the day

0:06:39.519,0:06:42.669
He just took the whole carabus

0:06:43.699,0:06:45.017
really hot

0:06:45.017,0:06:46.992
they are at that edge

0:06:47.444,0:06:49.994
a 0,3 kg perch at least

0:06:51.155,0:06:54.419
not 1kg yet but we're getting there

0:06:55.677,0:06:58.260
double strike is always nice

0:06:58.260,0:07:00.850
this one is as small as my first one

0:07:01.240,0:07:04.233
this ned might deliver small fish

0:07:04.233,0:07:07.286
But we only caught 3 fish so far

0:07:12.667,0:07:15.551
They can be really stiff when it's cold

0:07:15.551,0:07:18.877
They can be slow when we release them

0:07:23.308,0:07:25.974
It would've been so nice[br]to catch a 1kg now

0:07:25.974,0:07:30.192
You fish with better confidence once[br]you catch a few fish

0:07:30.192,0:07:32.495
It's just a matter of time!

0:07:32.775,0:07:34.341
- better?[br]- yeah better

0:07:34.341,0:07:35.995
a better fish!

0:07:38.360,0:07:40.120
Look Niclas it might be a....

0:07:40.120,0:07:40.916
NO!

0:07:40.916,0:07:42.069
It's a pike

0:07:42.367,0:07:45.281
it's a pike, I thought it was a big perch

0:07:45.281,0:07:47.866
Of course the pike eat worms too

0:07:48.760,0:07:51.209
He fooled me

0:07:51.798,0:07:54.147
It looked like a perch

0:07:54.695,0:08:01.218
These pikes are the perfect size[br]that make you think it's a perch

0:08:02.295,0:08:06.295
It's important to look if the [br]leader will hold up

0:08:06.295,0:08:09.073
and it did'nt so I need a new one

0:08:09.073,0:08:12.406
I would'nt want that to happen if[br]I caught a dream perch

0:08:12.406,0:08:14.659
I would've cried all night

0:08:25.644,0:08:27.910
we've arrived at a new spot now

0:08:27.910,0:08:31.004
we caught a few fish at the other spot[br]but it went quiet

0:08:31.004,0:08:33.141
so we tried and find a new spot

0:08:33.141,0:08:35.705
We are at a backwater that[br]we really believe in

0:08:35.705,0:08:39.199
Perch are often found in the[br]edge of the current

0:08:39.199,0:08:40.935
where the water is calmer

0:08:40.935,0:08:43.932
we're gonna start fishing here now

0:08:44.642,0:08:48.790
it's often easy[br]to find spots like this in rivers

0:08:48.790,0:08:52.136
You can have a look at Google maps

0:08:52.136,0:08:58.025
and when you arrive at the river you[br]can fish the spots fairly quick

0:08:58.596,0:09:03.425
are there perch that want to bite[br]they bite straight away

0:09:03.425,0:09:06.926
a few fast casts here and we'll see[br]if this spot can deliver

0:09:12.568,0:09:15.136
it's some grass to the right

0:09:15.694,0:09:16.464
There!

0:09:16.464,0:09:17.204
I got one!

0:09:17.204,0:09:17.839
It's big!

0:09:17.839,0:09:18.597
BIG!

0:09:18.633,0:09:19.845
I think this one is a perch

0:09:19.845,0:09:21.437
a really fat perch

0:09:21.786,0:09:22.968
Look at it

0:09:23.967,0:09:25.800
Look how fat it is

0:09:25.832,0:09:27.508
definitly the biggest one for today

0:09:27.508,0:09:28.661
a really nice one

0:09:29.007,0:09:31.488
it's a carrot perch

0:09:31.488,0:09:35.365
You could say it's eaten a lot of carrots[br]but I don't think it has

0:09:35.365,0:09:38.884
It's so orange because it's eaten[br]a lot of crayfish

0:09:42.510,0:09:47.111
hence the color and that's why it[br]has become so fat

0:09:47.111,0:09:49.829
The belly can become orange

0:09:49.829,0:09:54.026
I'll release this one, it's about 0,5kg[br]so only half our goal

0:09:54.026,0:09:55.671
bye bye

0:09:56.061,0:09:58.109
The sun came forward

0:09:58.109,0:10:02.031
A weather different can make[br]the perch become more active

0:10:03.308,0:10:06.198
So we just cast again

0:10:10.365,0:10:12.834
fun to catch more fish

0:10:13.899,0:10:15.677
I want a kilo perch now

0:10:16.191,0:10:16.904
NO!

0:10:16.904,0:10:18.387
that one looked nice

0:10:18.387,0:10:19.816
that was a better one

0:10:22.460,0:10:24.295
please bite again

0:10:25.455,0:10:26.587
there!

0:10:26.794,0:10:28.302
it's a small one

0:10:29.615,0:10:31.466
not that small

0:10:32.775,0:10:37.347
You can see it's different families[br]of perch in this river

0:10:37.347,0:10:39.923
some of them eat a lot of crayfish

0:10:40.136,0:10:42.686
and this one is more pale

0:10:42.686,0:10:45.609
this one probably eat roach or bleek

0:10:45.609,0:10:48.186
They have different colors depending[br]on what they eat

0:10:48.186,0:10:51.641
I'll release this one [br]and we keep on grinding

0:10:54.703,0:10:59.226
It would be so nice if we could[br]catch a real pig today

0:10:59.785,0:11:01.475
I got one!

0:11:01.995,0:11:06.099
I got a fish aswell now[br]it was my turn

0:11:06.541,0:11:08.268
really fat

0:11:09.278,0:11:13.093
I did as Tobbe and tried a ned aswell

0:11:13.766,0:11:16.000
Look how scarred it is

0:11:16.793,0:11:20.460
really weird, on the other side to

0:11:21.064,0:11:23.130
Let's see if it's a crayfish perch or not

0:11:24.115,0:11:25.148
It was

0:11:25.263,0:11:27.116
look at all those dots

0:11:30.640,0:11:32.325
a really nice fish

0:11:32.325,0:11:35.220
release it and hope to catch a kilo perch

0:11:37.762,0:11:40.644
It's wonderful to[br]be standing here in January

0:11:40.644,0:11:42.433
It's really warm and nice

0:11:42.671,0:11:45.902
It would be even better if we could[br]catch a really big one

0:11:45.902,0:11:48.133
But I think we'll do it if we[br]just keep on grinding

0:11:48.133,0:11:52.367
There are not that many that fish with ned[br]even though it's so efficent

0:11:53.896,0:11:57.991
It look ugly[br]like a stump

0:11:59.512,0:12:03.227
but for some reason the perch love it

0:12:03.629,0:12:06.222
You can't fish ned to slow

0:12:06.222,0:12:09.711
do some slow twitches[br]with a light jighead

0:12:09.711,0:12:12.221
and let it jump over the bottom

0:12:12.221,0:12:15.712
and do some pauses so it stand still

0:12:16.728,0:12:20.728
Niclas did fish with freerig

0:12:20.817,0:12:24.285
and as soon as he changed to ned[br]he caught more fish

0:12:24.285,0:12:27.618
so we keep on grinding with ned

0:12:36.625,0:12:37.858
I got one!

0:12:38.353,0:12:39.902
It feels better

0:12:41.477,0:12:43.274
It's huge right?

0:12:44.789,0:12:46.531
what's happening Tobbe?

0:12:48.988,0:12:51.772
I think it might be 1kg

0:12:52.364,0:12:55.274
- already? after just half the day?[br]-I think it is

0:12:55.274,0:12:58.072
Let's have a look at it then

0:12:58.256,0:13:00.206
I think it's a perch

0:13:00.206,0:13:02.528
Well how heavy is the perch then?

0:13:02.973,0:13:05.255
8-10kg maybe

0:13:05.313,0:13:07.451
- No Hg I mean[br]- you think so?

0:13:07.576,0:13:10.837
It's long, maybe 40cm

0:13:10.837,0:13:13.393
I think it's at least 900g

0:13:13.629,0:13:18.265
but with some luck it can be 1kg

0:13:19.927,0:13:25.503
a perch on 1kg is a really big perch

0:13:25.974,0:13:28.289
let's measure it

0:13:30.184,0:13:32.934
quickly measure how long it is

0:13:34.406,0:13:35.922
the pig sound

0:13:35.922,0:13:37.337
It's long Niclas

0:13:37.420,0:13:39.820
- yeah it is[br]- it's 45cm

0:13:41.441,0:13:43.678
It's really long

0:13:45.058,0:13:47.593
wow, that could be a 1kg perch

0:13:47.593,0:13:50.838
45cm perch in this river is really good

0:13:50.838,0:13:52.980
There aren't that many of them here

0:13:53.665,0:13:57.404
And not that fat because it's winter

0:13:57.963,0:14:04.379
If I caught it in March/April it could've[br]easily be 2-3hg more

0:14:04.493,0:14:07.416
But I think that it might be over 1kg

0:14:07.654,0:14:09.485
So let's see

0:14:10.531,0:14:14.809
We'll weigh it in our kitty cat bag

0:14:15.181,0:14:17.247
let's put the scale to zero

0:14:18.366,0:14:19.391
get in there

0:14:21.131,0:14:22.997
the moment of truth

0:14:23.462,0:14:25.128
It's just over

0:14:26.574,0:14:28.092
1,02kg

0:14:28.363,0:14:29.805
Yes 1,02 kg

0:14:29.980,0:14:32.313
My goal is cleared

0:14:32.313,0:14:37.559
But our goal is that both of us is [br]gonna catch a 1kg perch

0:14:38.000,0:14:40.103
So now it's Niclas turn

0:14:40.103,0:14:42.395
I'm glad for that fish

0:14:42.801,0:14:45.133
The biggest one I've caught in this river

0:14:45.133,0:14:46.692
They are here indeed

0:14:46.692,0:14:49.980
Tobbe is check[br]so now it's my turn

0:14:50.628,0:14:52.972
I'll keep on grinding with my ned

0:14:53.827,0:14:58.867
This monkey ned is so eaten[br]and the hook is loose

0:14:59.006,0:15:01.289
I have a great tip for that

0:15:01.469,0:15:06.539
The worm is round so you can just[br]turn it

0:15:08.095,0:15:11.377
and put it through another spot

0:15:12.252,0:15:15.736
And it's like a new lure again

0:15:15.736,0:15:18.462
You can save a lot of many by doing that

0:15:18.462,0:15:21.930
The way to go when you're from Småland

0:15:21.930,0:15:24.535
Don't let anything go to waste

0:15:24.535,0:15:27.168
That's my tip to save money

0:15:35.632,0:15:39.517
we've put the boat over there and we're[br]gonna be fishing from land

0:15:40.103,0:15:43.829
sometimes it's hotter to fish from land

0:15:43.877,0:15:45.985
and form another angle

0:15:45.985,0:15:48.219
So let's try it and see

0:15:50.112,0:15:53.761
We've found a good spot with a lot[br]of fish in this river

0:15:53.920,0:15:56.980
So we keep on grinding here

0:15:58.459,0:16:01.928
I think they are stationary here in[br]the backwater

0:16:02.073,0:16:05.788
And are tricky so I think we need[br]to fish slow

0:16:06.588,0:16:08.421
Slow and different ways
