ICE FISHING FOR GIANT PIKE – Can I catch them?

  • 0:04 - 0:08
    It's a special feeling to fish for pike
    on the ice
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    and I love it
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    A small bell on the whip
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    and when the pike bite the roach
    you can hear that sound
  • 0:17 - 0:23
    You never know if it's a small fish
    or an enourmous pike
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    FISH!
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    2 days of ice fishing
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    WIth 2 different friends
  • 0:35 - 0:41
    First day is with Steffen on a huge lake
    with clear water
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    the second day I'll replace Steffen
    with Niclas Edström
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    We're gonna fish
    in a completely different lake
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    a very shallow lake with
    a lot of lily pads
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    more pikes and also some really big pike
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    Fish, Run Niclas
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    I can hear the bell
  • 1:06 - 1:10
    During these 2 days we're gonna grind
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    and do our best to catch a nice pike
  • 1:14 - 1:21
    But we're gonna enjoy the fishing
    and we're gonna cook
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    a special meal over open fire
  • 1:24 - 1:28
    But first we'll read some of your comments
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    Alvlar wonder where August is at?
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    August work as a school teacher
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    and that's why he can't tag along so often
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    And Plura wonder where Edvin's at?
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    Someone need to edit our videos
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    And that's what Edvin is doing right now
  • 1:49 - 1:54
    Fritidmedallan wonder if we're gonna be at
    the sport fishing fair in March?
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    And yes, we'll be there
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    14-16 of March and all of Team Galant
    is gonna be there
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    I hope as many of you can join
    us there
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    First day
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    Me and Steffen need to get to our
    spot as quick as possible
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    I'ven been driving 2 hours this morning
    just to get here
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    You want to have the rods out just
    when the sun is about to rise
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    and we're a bit late
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    but we keep on going
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    This is my home waters
  • 2:36 - 2:41
    I know from experience that there are
    some really big pikes here
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    now we just need to hurry up to the spot
    and get the rods out fishing
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    And hope that we can catch
    a big one today
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    warning for pigs today
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    this looks good
  • 2:56 - 3:00
    we're gonna have our camp
    here at a deep edge down to 9 meter
  • 3:01 - 3:06
    we put out a lot of rods here and
    hope to get some pikes
  • 3:06 - 3:10
    I don't think we're gonna get so much
    fish today but when we do
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    It's probably a decent fish
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    Tobbe! FIsh!
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    First one for the day
  • 3:37 - 3:38
    It's there
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    It took some line
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    - are you ready?
    - yeah let's go
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    No it spat it out
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    He stole the roach
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    It was a fish on, he stole the roach
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    But at least we know
    we're at the right spot
  • 3:57 - 4:00
    we're a bit late
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    But if we hurry we might get
    a strike soon again
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    all the rods are set and fishing
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    now we just have to sit here and wait
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    I don't think we're gonna get a lot
    of fish today but the ones we do
  • 4:28 - 4:32
    have a chance of being really big
  • 4:32 - 4:35
    and that pike shall be this big
    between the eyes
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    Run Steffen!
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    - Does it takes some line?
    - no
  • 4:45 - 4:47
    now it does
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    go on then
  • 4:49 - 4:50
    Yes
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    - Is it still on?
    - yeah
  • 4:56 - 4:59
    - is it big?
    - yeah
  • 4:59 - 5:01
    - is it bigger?
    - I don't know
  • 5:02 - 5:04
    - no
    - no but it's a fish
  • 5:04 - 5:08
    a small one but it's the first fish
  • 5:11 - 5:14
    Not the one we expected to catch
  • 5:14 - 5:17
    aparantly the small ones
    are out here aswell
  • 5:17 - 5:20
    I'll help you unhook it and then
    we can release it
  • 5:20 - 5:24
    let's hope we're in a striking period now
  • 5:25 - 5:28
    that wasn't the biggest fish
    but a fish is always a fish
  • 5:28 - 5:32
    Tobbe was just saying how hungry he was
  • 5:33 - 5:36
    The pikes was apparently hungry aswell
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    so at least we caught a small pike
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    let's hope for bigger ones now
  • 5:42 - 5:44
    It's really slippery here
  • 5:45 - 5:46
    watch out
  • 5:48 - 5:53
    When you're ice fishing for big pike
    it might take a while
  • 5:55 - 5:59
    You need to make the best out of the time
    and cook a really nice meal
  • 5:59 - 6:05
    I'm gonna make a staniol package
    with some self caught cod
  • 6:05 - 6:09
    from Norway with Catch fishing trips
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    I'm gonna cook the cod over open fire
  • 6:14 - 6:18
    But before I'm gonna prep all the
    ingredients we have a collab
  • 6:18 - 6:20
    with Morakniv
  • 6:20 - 6:23
    This is perfect for us
  • 6:24 - 6:28
    We've done so many catch and cook
  • 6:30 - 6:35
    Or when I was younger I had a
    lurebox that you could unfold
  • 6:35 - 6:38
    I had a Moraknife like this back then
  • 6:38 - 6:41
    They have all different kind of knives
  • 6:41 - 6:44
    This particular one is floating
  • 6:44 - 6:47
    It's great when fishing from a boat
  • 6:47 - 6:51
    The cork handle will make it float
  • 6:52 - 6:55
    a great allround knife
  • 6:56 - 6:58
    They also sent us a filet knife
  • 6:59 - 7:03
    It's called companion fishing filet
  • 7:04 - 7:08
    It's great to bring on a fishing trip
  • 7:09 - 7:13
    a really convenient catch and cook knife
  • 7:22 - 7:25
    How tasty does this look?
  • 7:25 - 7:31
    chives, habanero, garlic, lemon
    and a big piece of butter
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    I also have some potatoes
    in another package
  • 7:36 - 7:40
    It'll cook for about 10-15 minutes now
  • 7:40 - 7:42
    and then it's done
  • 7:42 - 7:45
    It's strange that
    we haven't had any more fish
  • 7:45 - 7:48
    The weather is nice but
    the fishing is not
  • 7:48 - 7:51
    But that's what fishing
    for big pike is like
  • 7:58 - 8:01
    this look so tasty
  • 8:01 - 8:05
    and smell fantastic
  • 8:06 - 8:08
    First bite now
  • 8:11 - 8:13
    This was well needed
  • 8:15 - 8:19
    Steffen and I sat in our chairs
    for a long time
  • 8:19 - 8:22
    and enjoyed both the food and the weather
  • 8:22 - 8:26
    even all the firewood burned out
  • 8:26 - 8:29
    But no pikes wanted our roach
  • 8:29 - 8:35
    We accepted the defeat and once again
    realize that fishing for big pike
  • 8:35 - 8:37
    Isn't so easy
  • 8:37 - 8:40
    Steffen only had one day to fish with me
  • 8:40 - 8:45
    I hope that the next day with Niclas
    in a shallower lake
  • 8:45 - 8:48
    would deliver better
  • 8:48 - 8:53
    I almost never ice fish
    I never catch anything when I do
  • 8:53 - 8:57
    Tobbe has dragged me along today
  • 8:58 - 9:03
    I haven't dragged you here
    this is your home waters
  • 9:03 - 9:05
    And you never fished here before
  • 9:05 - 9:08
    I think I will not catch anything today
  • 9:09 - 9:13
    Where's August at? he knows how
    to not catch any fish
  • 9:15 - 9:18
    A good thing we don't need to walk so far
  • 9:19 - 9:24
    and no snow on the ice, easy to drag
    the sled on the ice
  • 9:24 - 9:27
    Let's walk down to the bay over there
  • 9:27 - 9:30
    It looks really hot with a lot of grass
  • 9:32 - 9:34
    It's looking good over here
  • 9:34 - 9:37
    I can see some lily pads in the ice
  • 9:37 - 9:40
    and a lot of reed along the edges
  • 9:41 - 9:47
    I've heard that some big pikes have
    been caught here over 10kg
  • 9:47 - 9:51
    So lets hope that a big madam like that
    want to come out and play today
  • 9:52 - 9:55
    I haven't been ice fishing for a long time
  • 9:55 - 9:57
    It's like a curse
  • 9:57 - 10:00
    But today is the day to break the curse
  • 10:00 - 10:02
    So lets catch them
  • 10:02 - 10:05
    Look at this, talking about curses
  • 10:05 - 10:08
    My bag is stuck on my reel
  • 10:09 - 10:13
    I can't get it off
    I can't even fish now
  • 10:15 - 10:17
    It's really stuck
  • 10:19 - 10:22
    Let's hope that 10kg pike get stuck
    on the hooks as good
  • 10:26 - 10:29
    Knives aren't only good for
    chopping vegetables
  • 10:29 - 10:32
    It's perfect when Niclas screw up
  • 10:33 - 10:35
    Now I'm gonna cut
  • 10:37 - 10:40
    - Look how sharp it isarp
    - it's really sh
  • 10:41 - 10:43
    That is sick, so sharp
  • 10:43 - 10:45
    Watch you fingers
  • 10:46 - 10:49
    some extra flash on the hooks
  • 10:50 - 10:54
    - what's that knot?
    - I did it quick last night
  • 10:54 - 10:56
    I know
  • 10:57 - 11:00
    I had to do it really quick
  • 11:04 - 11:06
    But the other looks better
  • 11:15 - 11:18
    It's exercise for my arms
  • 11:18 - 11:20
    I didn't think that the ice would
    be this thick
  • 11:20 - 11:22
    It's almost 15cm
  • 11:27 - 11:30
    It's very shallow right here
  • 11:30 - 11:34
    I'll place the roach just under the ice
  • 11:35 - 11:37
    Let's see how deep it is
  • 11:37 - 11:40
    It's important to not fish to shallow
  • 11:47 - 11:48
    what?
  • 11:49 - 11:51
    I caught a perch
  • 11:51 - 11:53
    I never experienced this
  • 11:53 - 11:55
    I could use it as bait
  • 11:55 - 11:57
    No I'll release it
  • 11:57 - 12:00
    At least we know there's baitfish here
  • 12:02 - 12:03
    I can hear the bell
  • 12:04 - 12:05
    Fish over there
  • 12:05 - 12:06
    Run!
  • 12:06 - 12:08
    It's double, on two
  • 12:09 - 12:11
    - on both mine?
    - I don't know
  • 12:11 - 12:13
    Are you kidding me, it is
  • 12:14 - 12:16
    take it easy
  • 12:19 - 12:21
    I hope you can catch it
  • 12:24 - 12:25
    No
  • 12:25 - 12:27
    He took the roach and all
  • 12:27 - 12:29
    - You have another one
    - yeah I do
  • 12:33 - 12:34
    It takes some line
  • 12:34 - 12:36
    - you see that?
    - I see
  • 12:36 - 12:38
    let's see now
  • 12:41 - 12:43
    it's still now
  • 12:43 - 12:45
    It's there
  • 12:45 - 12:47
    ready?
  • 12:47 - 12:48
    It's on
  • 12:48 - 12:50
    It's a small one
  • 12:55 - 12:56
    nice
  • 12:57 - 13:00
    You did catch a fish Niclas
  • 13:02 - 13:04
    That feels nice
  • 13:04 - 13:08
    Look at this, I didn't think I was gonna
    catch anything today
  • 13:09 - 13:12
    I got a bite right away
  • 13:12 - 13:15
    not the biggest
  • 13:15 - 13:18
    Now you can fish with great confidence
  • 13:18 - 13:21
    I can relax and have a coffea
  • 13:23 - 13:26
    Now it can swim back home
    we want the bigger ones
  • 13:27 - 13:28
    bye bye
  • 13:30 - 13:32
    that didn't take long
  • 13:33 - 13:36
    Now we want the bigger ones
  • 13:36 - 13:40
    we fish in a bay so we need to spread out
    the rods all over the bay
  • 13:40 - 13:45
    To cover both the reed
    and at the deep edge
  • 13:45 - 13:49
    I don't know where the fish usually
    are at this lake
  • 13:49 - 13:51
    So we need to test and see
  • 13:57 - 14:00
    No need to worry about falling through
    the ice today
  • 14:01 - 14:05
    it's close to 20cm thick ice
  • 14:05 - 14:07
    it's some pig ice
  • 14:08 - 14:12
    Me and Niclas have almost the
    same gear for ice fishing
  • 14:12 - 14:16
    I have some fluoroscent orange that are
    easy to spot against the reed
  • 14:16 - 14:19
    and the black one is highly visible
    against the snow and ice
  • 14:19 - 14:23
    So this one I will look for the
    orange ball against the reed
  • 14:25 - 14:27
    is it a fish over there?
  • 14:27 - 14:29
    - Fish over there
    - on mine?
  • 14:30 - 14:32
    Yeah it's yours
  • 14:34 - 14:36
    It's deadly slippery here
  • 14:38 - 14:40
    - it's running?
    - no
  • 14:40 - 14:43
    it's all tangled up
  • 14:44 - 14:45
    wait
  • 14:50 - 14:52
    It's something on
  • 14:53 - 14:56
    It's heavy and then just gone
  • 14:56 - 14:58
    Just steal my roach
  • 14:58 - 15:01
    I can feel it, and then just gone
  • 15:02 - 15:04
    probably a small one
  • 15:12 - 15:13
    Another one!
  • 15:13 - 15:15
    Run Niclas!
  • 15:18 - 15:20
    This was strange
  • 15:20 - 15:22
    It's running
  • 15:23 - 15:25
    This one might be a good one
  • 15:26 - 15:27
    go
  • 15:30 - 15:31
    yeah it's better
  • 15:34 - 15:36
    Not that big
  • 15:40 - 15:42
    Forth one now
  • 15:45 - 15:48
    I only get the small ones
  • 15:50 - 15:52
    I've got something now!
  • 15:53 - 15:55
    This is so much fun
  • 15:56 - 15:58
    doesn't look like it take the line
  • 16:02 - 16:04
    but it's somtething there
  • 16:07 - 16:09
    yes I got it
  • 16:10 - 16:11
    well done Tobbe
  • 16:13 - 16:16
    It's a small one aswell
  • 16:17 - 16:19
    We'll have to wait for the big ones
  • 16:25 - 16:27
    Not big at all
  • 16:27 - 16:29
    - but they bite
    - yeah that's fun
  • 16:29 - 16:31
    - the fifth one
    - I think so
  • 16:34 - 16:36
    Run Niclas
  • 16:36 - 16:38
    I can hear the bell Niclas!
  • 16:40 - 16:41
    Fish
  • 16:41 - 16:42
    Fish!
  • 16:43 - 16:44
    Fish!
  • 16:46 - 16:48
    I didn't hear it but I saw it
  • 16:51 - 16:55
    I've counted all the roach, we brought
    30 with us today
  • 16:55 - 17:00
    and we only have 7 left and we fished
    for 2 hours
  • 17:00 - 17:03
    It doesn't look that great for the
    remaining of the day
  • 17:03 - 17:08
    I've put out a question on Instagram if
    someone is selling roach nearby
  • 17:08 - 17:11
    Otherwise we might have to go home
    by the time it's lunch
  • 17:16 - 17:20
    If I look closely I can see the whip
    Run Niclas!
  • 17:20 - 17:22
    I'm coming
    Ouch!
  • 17:22 - 17:23
    I almost fell
  • 17:24 - 17:26
    Furthest away
  • 17:29 - 17:31
    I don't know this time
  • 17:35 - 17:37
    It's a fish on
  • 17:38 - 17:40
    a small one I think
  • 17:40 - 17:42
    what is it? I don't get it
  • 17:42 - 17:44
    - Is it better?
    - I don't know
  • 17:46 - 17:48
    - Is the roach still on?
    - no
  • 17:49 - 17:52
    It panicked when it saw us
  • 17:58 - 18:00
    It's a bit bigger than the other ones
  • 18:05 - 18:09
    This is how they look so far
  • 18:09 - 18:11
    We're waiting for a better one
  • 18:11 - 18:13
    There's the roach
  • 18:14 - 18:16
    come over here
  • 18:21 - 18:24
    release that one and we maybe
    can drill another hole
  • 18:28 - 18:28
    bye bye
  • 18:28 - 18:32
    let's get the drill and make another hole
  • 18:32 - 18:34
    That was my thought aswell
  • 18:34 - 18:37
    So we can get the roach back
  • 18:37 - 18:39
    Mission to retrieve a roach under ice
  • 18:39 - 18:43
    While Tobbe go get the drill I
    keep track of the roach
  • 18:43 - 18:47
    We do what we can to be able
    to fish more today
  • 18:49 - 18:51
    A drill and a scoop
  • 18:51 - 18:53
    Let's get that roach
  • 18:54 - 18:57
    -I hope we can make it
    - yeah
  • 19:01 - 19:04
    Take it easy so the roach
    doesn't get away
  • 19:05 - 19:06
    like that
  • 19:07 - 19:09
    there it is
  • 19:09 - 19:11
    let's see if we can get to it
  • 19:11 - 19:13
    it's really close
  • 19:15 - 19:17
    You have to put your hand in the hole
  • 19:17 - 19:19
    you do it then
  • 19:21 - 19:23
    It's over there now
  • 19:26 - 19:28
    well done Tobbe
  • 19:28 - 19:30
    This will be tricky
  • 19:31 - 19:32
    like that
  • 19:34 - 19:35
    YES
  • 19:36 - 19:38
    We did it
  • 19:38 - 19:39
    well done
  • 19:40 - 19:42
    I hope it's not for nothing
  • 19:42 - 19:43
    It has to deliver
  • 19:45 - 19:47
    We had some roach crisis
  • 19:47 - 19:49
    And Tobbe managed
    to get our roach back
  • 19:52 - 19:54
    I'll rig it again
  • 19:57 - 20:00
    the bell again Niclas!
  • 20:00 - 20:01
    take it easy now
  • 20:01 - 20:03
    and save the roach if we can
  • 20:03 - 20:05
    It's roach rescue today
  • 20:09 - 20:10
    Now
  • 20:11 - 20:13
    Come on Tobbe
  • 20:21 - 20:25
    the pikes steal all the roaches
  • 20:25 - 20:27
    and put on some grass on the hook
  • 20:31 - 20:33
    it's gross, feel it Niclas
  • 20:35 - 20:38
    It's almost like a wig
  • 20:42 - 20:44
    we had about 20 bells go off so far
  • 20:44 - 20:46
    we're soon in trouble
  • 20:51 - 20:56
    We both have pig crisis
    and roach crisis
  • 20:57 - 21:00
    But at least we get some exercise
  • 21:02 - 21:07
    I get a lot of question during winter
    what gear I use for ice fishing
  • 21:08 - 21:13
    These rods are really old, I bought
    them at Fiske-Stig
  • 21:13 - 21:17
    In Eksjö around 2010
  • 21:17 - 21:20
    That store is no longer open
  • 21:20 - 21:24
    and these rods are no longer avaliable
  • 21:24 - 21:26
    and impossible to get hold of today
  • 21:26 - 21:30
    Not many rods can be used for 15 years
  • 21:31 - 21:34
    These rods have high quality
  • 21:34 - 21:37
    the reel is from Amazon
  • 21:38 - 21:40
    and I wouldn't recommend it
  • 21:40 - 21:42
    listen to this
  • 21:42 - 21:46
    You can even crank it backwards
  • 21:47 - 21:50
    I haven't found a reel for ice fishing
    in Sweden that I like
  • 21:51 - 21:54
    They are often too big
  • 21:57 - 22:00
    I've got some 0,43mm nylon line on it
  • 22:05 - 22:09
    I've got a freeze plug, a 8gram led weight
  • 22:10 - 22:13
    and then a fluorescent bead
  • 22:15 - 22:21
    Furthest down i hava a size 4 hook
    on a titanium wire
  • 22:25 - 22:26
    FISH!
  • 22:27 - 22:30
    Tobbe! save it
  • 22:34 - 22:35
    I got it
  • 22:47 - 22:49
    We don't have any roach as backup left
  • 22:49 - 22:51
    That was the last one
  • 22:54 - 22:56
    change from a rod that's not that hot
  • 22:59 - 23:01
    At least we saved the rod
  • 23:03 - 23:08
    since we had no more roach we had to
    remove rod after rod
  • 23:08 - 23:10
    But we shall not give up
  • 23:11 - 23:14
    If you just keep grinding the reward
    will come
  • 23:15 - 23:20
    and when it gets darker the big pike
    come out and play
  • 23:22 - 23:26
    Now I can hear a bell and it might
    be the last one for the day
  • 23:26 - 23:28
    It's not that far away
  • 23:28 - 23:34
    It might be our last chance to catch
    that big pig pike
  • 23:35 - 23:41
    after a lot of small pikes, we hope
    for a big one
  • 23:44 - 23:45
    It's there
  • 23:47 - 23:50
    let's go out with a bang now Tobbe
  • 23:51 - 23:52
    Yes!
  • 23:53 - 23:55
    But it's not a big one
  • 23:59 - 24:02
    It's maybe the same pike that
    stole all our roach
  • 24:02 - 24:04
    It's been attacked
  • 24:04 - 24:07
    Maybe a big pike is around somewhere
  • 24:07 - 24:09
    Look at this
  • 24:11 - 24:17
    It's been above freezing all day so we
    can see some foam in the hole
  • 24:18 - 24:21
    looks almost like shampoo
  • 24:21 - 24:23
    head and shoulders
  • 24:23 - 24:26
    We can name this pike Henric Lundqvist
  • 24:28 - 24:30
    This is typical me when I go ice fishing
  • 24:30 - 24:34
    we got some fish but not the ones
    we wanted
  • 24:34 - 24:38
    But that's it, now we wait for the ice to
    melt and can fish in open water
  • 24:38 - 24:40
    and then the big ones will come
  • 24:40 - 24:43
    This episode was a collab with Morakniv
  • 24:44 - 24:47
    This knife will be well used
  • 24:48 - 24:51
    I'll leave a link down below to this knife
  • 24:52 - 24:57
    Morakniv is so popular in Sweden so you
    can buy them almost everywhere
  • 24:59 - 25:03
    we'll see you in the next video
  • 25:05 - 25:07
    and now some scenes that didn't make it
  • 25:07 - 25:10
    it must be grass on
  • 25:12 - 25:14
    What's happening?
  • 25:15 - 25:17
    the whole lake on
  • 25:18 - 25:20
    minus one roach again
  • 25:27 - 25:29
    I can't take it no more
  • 25:29 - 25:31
    what's happening?
  • 25:33 - 25:34
    roach poachers
  • 25:36 - 25:38
    that was close
  • 25:39 - 25:41
    and the roach is gone
  • 25:45 - 25:48
