EXPLORING RIVER - Searching for BIG PERCH

  • 0:03 - 0:07
    I love to explore new waters
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    You never know what you
    might catch
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    How big they are
  • 0:12 - 0:17
    and how hard it's gonna be to
    find great spots
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    But if you work hard and in the
    end fins a good spot
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    The reward can be really big
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    I've got a friend named Niclas Edström
  • 0:29 - 0:35
    we've fished together for years and
    caught a lot of nice fish
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    I'ts been a while since we filmed together
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    But now it's finally time to do that again
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    The idea is that Niclas and I are gonna
    explore a river
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    that I've inly fished in once before
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    I didn't caught any huge fish but it felt
    like it had potential
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    for huge perch
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    It's heavy
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    a nice perch
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    It's bigger than 1 kg
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    I'm from Linköping and have driven
    2 hours down in Sweden
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    To have a look at this river
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    I usually fish in another river
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    And have a lot of experience in
    how to fish rivers like this
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    I think we're gonna be able to crack
    the code in this river aswell
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    You need to gather a lot of informationen
    when you're exploring rivers like this
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    look at google maps and depts
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    and try to find some nice backwater
  • 1:33 - 1:38
    In the winter the perch are often
    stationary in deep holes
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    you need to fish the lure really slow
  • 1:45 - 1:50
    It's always fun to set up a goal when
    you try a new water
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    I think that a 1kg perch
    in here are possible
  • 1:54 - 1:59
    so the goal for today is that both
    Tobbe and I are gonna catch a 1kg perch
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    But first we'll read some of your comments
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    Sebastian want us to say hi to
    his son Lukas
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    He's been ill for 5 days
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    It sucks to be sick for so long and
    not be able to fish
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    So here's a big hello from us Lukas
  • 2:18 - 2:23
    We have a comment from Bergling saying
    that Niclas are gonna be in the videos
  • 2:23 - 2:27
    I haven't been in a video since fall 2020
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    But now in 2025 it's time to use
    all the gear
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    and show how to catch a real pig
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    you can hardly believe it's
    middle of winter
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    it's almost 6 degrees outside
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    no ice in the edges with no wind
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    it's suppose to be -15 degrees now
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    but we're grateful for good weather
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    So that we can fish
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Tobbe and I have been fishing
    together for many years
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    It's been a few years
    since we filmed together
  • 2:58 - 3:02
    It'll be exciting and fun
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    I fished in this river once before
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    It was first most 2 spots that
    we caught fish on
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    It was this backwater and a spot
    further down stream
  • 3:21 - 3:25
    there is a current just by the ice
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    going to a dept of 2-3 meters
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    we caught most of our fish here back then
  • 3:30 - 3:37
    It's always a good idea to start at a
    spot you know hold fish
  • 3:37 - 3:42
    And when you then find out what works
    for the day
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    Then you can start searching
    at other spots
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    I like to fish with crawfish imitations
    when fishing in rivers
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    I'm gonna start with a carabus
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    I've frerigged this one
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    the weight up here runs free on the leader
  • 4:01 - 4:05
    that made the lure swim different
    and more flowing
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    It can be really hot this time of year
  • 4:09 - 4:14
    looking at the sonar
    it's only 0,6 degrees in the water
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    The perch might strike good
    but very careful
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    So we need to fish really slow
  • 4:22 - 4:26
    I'll try a monkey ned in the color junebug
  • 4:26 - 4:30
    I can bounce it slowly along the bottom
  • 4:32 - 4:35
    The goal is to catch a 1kg perch each
  • 4:35 - 4:40
    The big perch often want bigger lure
    so I'll try the bigger monkey ned
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    Let's hope we can clear our goal
    for today Niclas
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    let's catch them
  • 4:48 - 4:52
    - you have faith in this spot?
    - It feels hot
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    It looks promising
  • 5:02 - 5:06
    It would be nice
    to have the first contact fast
  • 5:06 - 5:09
    The you know that there are fish here
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    was that a contact?
  • 5:17 - 5:18
    I got one!
  • 5:19 - 5:21
    Just by the edge of the current
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    Not the biggest fish
    but it's a first
  • 5:27 - 5:30
    It's a recipe that
    we're doing something right
  • 5:30 - 5:33
    Look what a nice perch
  • 5:34 - 5:36
    really high perch
  • 5:36 - 5:40
    That's a good sign, if they're long
    and high thy are heavy
  • 5:41 - 5:43
    it's kinda red aswell
  • 5:43 - 5:46
    a very nice perch
  • 5:46 - 5:51
    Ned worm are usually efficent
    at this time of year
  • 5:52 - 5:58
    This one will have to swim back
  • 5:58 - 6:01
    and we keep on grinding
  • 6:01 - 6:03
    But at least we know now that
    they are here
  • 6:03 - 6:06
    well done Tobbe, we have a recipe that
    they are here
  • 6:06 - 6:10
    we'll keep on grinding and see if
    we can catch another one
  • 6:22 - 6:24
    I got another one!
  • 6:24 - 6:27
    2 casts and 2 fish
  • 6:28 - 6:29
    A little bit bigger
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    - you got one aswell?
    - yes yes
  • 6:33 - 6:36
    - is it better?
    - biggest of the day
  • 6:40 - 6:43
    He just took the whole carabus
  • 6:44 - 6:45
    really hot
  • 6:45 - 6:47
    they are at that edge
  • 6:47 - 6:50
    a 0,3 kg perch at least
  • 6:51 - 6:54
    not 1kg yet but we're getting there
  • 6:56 - 6:58
    double strike is always nice
  • 6:58 - 7:01
    this one is as small as my first one
  • 7:01 - 7:04
    this ned might deliver small fish
  • 7:04 - 7:07
    But we only caught 3 fish so far
  • 7:13 - 7:16
    They can be really stiff when it's cold
  • 7:16 - 7:19
    They can be slow when we release them
  • 7:23 - 7:26
    It would've been so nice
    to catch a 1kg now
  • 7:26 - 7:30
    You fish with better confidence once
    you catch a few fish
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    It's just a matter of time!
  • 7:33 - 7:34
    - better?
    - yeah better
