ICE FISHING FOR GIANT PIKE – Can I catch them?

It's a special feeling to fish for pike
on the ice

and I love it

A small bell on the whip

and when the pike bite the roach
you can hear that sound

You never know if it's a small fish
or an enourmous pike

FISH!

2 days of ice fishing

WIth 2 different friends

First day is with Steffen on a huge lake
with clear water

the second day I'll replace Steffen
with Niclas Edström

We're gonna fish
in a completely different lake

a very shallow lake with
a lot of lily pads

more pikes and also some really big pike

Fish, Run Niclas

I can hear the bell

During these 2 days we're gonna grind

and do our best to catch a nice pike

But we're gonna enjoy the fishing
and we're gonna cook

a special meal over open fire

But first we'll read some of your comments

Alvlar wonder where August is at?

August work as a school teacher

and that's why he can't tag along so often

And Plura wonder where Edvin's at?

Someone need to edit our videos

And that's what Edvin is doing right now

Fritidmedallan wonder if we're gonna be at
the sport fishing fair in March?

And yes, we'll be there

14-16 of March and all of Team Galant
is gonna be there

I hope as many of you can join
us there

First day

Me and Steffen need to get to our
spot as quick as possible

I'ven been driving 2 hours this morning
just to get here

You want to have the rods out just
when the sun is about to rise

and we're a bit late

but we keep on going

This is my home waters

I know from experience that there are
some really big pikes here

now we just need to hurry up to the spot
and get the rods out fishing

And hope that we can catch
a big one today

warning for pigs today

this looks good

we're gonna have our camp
here at a deep edge down to 9 meter

we put out a lot of rods here and
hope to get some pikes

I don't think we're gonna get so much
fish today but when we do

It's probably a decent fish

Tobbe! FIsh!

First one for the day

It's there

It took some line

- are you ready?
- yeah let's go

No it spat it out

He stole the roach

It was a fish on, he stole the roach

But at least we know
we're at the right spot

we're a bit late

But if we hurry we might get
a strike soon again

all the rods are set and fishing

now we just have to sit here and wait

I don't think we're gonna get a lot
of fish today but the ones we do

have a chance of being really big

and that pike shall be this big
between the eyes

Run Steffen!

- Does it takes some line?
- no

now it does

go on then

Yes

- Is it still on?
- yeah

- is it big?
- yeah

- is it bigger?
- I don't know

- no
- no but it's a fish

a small one but it's the first fish

Not the one we expected to catch

aparantly the small ones
are out here aswell

I'll help you unhook it and then
we can release it

let's hope we're in a striking period now

that wasn't the biggest fish
but a fish is always a fish

Tobbe was just saying how hungry he was

The pikes was apparently hungry aswell

so at least we caught a small pike

let's hope for bigger ones now

It's really slippery here

watch out

When you're ice fishing for big pike
it might take a while

You need to make the best out of the time
and cook a really nice meal

I'm gonna make a staniol package
with some self caught cod

from Norway with Catch fishing trips

I'm gonna cook the cod over open fire

But before I'm gonna prep all the
ingredients we have a collab

with Morakniv

This is perfect for us

We've done so many catch and cook

Or when I was younger I had a
lurebox that you could unfold

I had a Moraknife like this back then

They have all different kind of knives

This particular one is floating

It's great when fishing from a boat

The cork handle will make it float

a great allround knife

They also sent us a filet knife

It's called companion fishing filet

It's great to bring on a fishing trip

a really convenient catch and cook knife

How tasty does this look?

chives, habanero, garlic, lemon
and a big piece of butter

I also have some potatoes
in another package

It'll cook for about 10-15 minutes now

and then it's done

It's strange that
we haven't had any more fish

The weather is nice but
the fishing is not

But that's what fishing
for big pike is like

this look so tasty

and smell fantastic

First bite now

This was well needed

Steffen and I sat in our chairs
for a long time

and enjoyed both the food and the weather

even all the firewood burned out

But no pikes wanted our roach

We accepted the defeat and once again
realize that fishing for big pike

Isn't so easy

Steffen only had one day to fish with me

I hope that the next day with Niclas
in a shallower lake

would deliver better

I almost never ice fish
I never catch anything when I do

Tobbe has dragged me along today

I haven't dragged you here
this is your home waters

And you never fished here before

I think I will not catch anything today

Where's August at? he knows how
to not catch any fish

A good thing we don't need to walk so far

and no snow on the ice, easy to drag
the sled on the ice

Let's walk down to the bay over there

It looks really hot with a lot of grass

It's looking good over here

I can see some lily pads in the ice

and a lot of reed along the edges

I've heard that some big pikes have
been caught here over 10kg

So lets hope that a big madam like that
want to come out and play today

I haven't been ice fishing for a long time

It's like a curse

But today is the day to break the curse

So lets catch them

Look at this, talking about curses

My bag is stuck on my reel

I can't get it off
I can't even fish now

It's really stuck

Let's hope that 10kg pike get stuck
on the hooks as good

Knives aren't only good for
chopping vegetables

It's perfect when Niclas screw up

Now I'm gonna cut

- Look how sharp it isarp
- it's really sh

That is sick, so sharp

Watch you fingers

some extra flash on the hooks

- what's that knot?
- I did it quick last night

I know

I had to do it really quick

But the other looks better

It's exercise for my arms

I didn't think that the ice would
be this thick

It's almost 15cm

It's very shallow right here

I'll place the roach just under the ice

Let's see how deep it is

It's important to not fish to shallow

what?

I caught a perch

I never experienced this

I could use it as bait

No I'll release it

At least we know there's baitfish here

I can hear the bell

Fish over there

Run!

It's double, on two

- on both mine?
- I don't know

Are you kidding me, it is

take it easy

I hope you can catch it

No

He took the roach and all

- You have another one
- yeah I do

It takes some line

- you see that?
- I see

let's see now

it's still now

It's there

ready?

It's on

It's a small one

nice

You did catch a fish Niclas

That feels nice

Look at this, I didn't think I was gonna
catch anything today

I got a bite right away

not the biggest

Now you can fish with great confidence

I can relax and have a coffea

Now it can swim back home
we want the bigger ones

bye bye

that didn't take long

Now we want the bigger ones

we fish in a bay so we need to spread out
the rods all over the bay

To cover both the reed
and at the deep edge

I don't know where the fish usually
are at this lake

So we need to test and see

No need to worry about falling through
the ice today

it's close to 20cm thick ice

it's some pig ice

Me and Niclas have almost the
same gear for ice fishing

I have some fluoroscent orange that are
easy to spot against the reed

and the black one is highly visible
against the snow and ice

So this one I will look for the
orange ball against the reed

is it a fish over there?

- Fish over there
- on mine?

Yeah it's yours

It's deadly slippery here

- it's running?
- no

it's all tangled up

wait

It's something on

It's heavy and then just gone

Just steal my roach

I can feel it, and then just gone

probably a small one

Another one!

Run Niclas!

This was strange

It's running

This one might be a good one

go

yeah it's better

Not that big

Forth one now

I only get the small ones

I've got something now!

This is so much fun

doesn't look like it take the line

but it's somtething there

yes I got it

well done Tobbe

It's a small one aswell

We'll have to wait for the big ones

Not big at all

- but they bite
- yeah that's fun

- the fifth one
- I think so

Run Niclas

I can hear the bell Niclas!

Fish

Fish!

Fish!

I didn't hear it but I saw it

I've counted all the roach, we brought
30 with us today

and we only have 7 left and we fished
for 2 hours

It doesn't look that great for the
remaining of the day

I've put out a question on Instagram if
someone is selling roach nearby

Otherwise we might have to go home
by the time it's lunch

If I look closely I can see the whip
Run Niclas!

I'm coming
Ouch!

I almost fell

Furthest away

I don't know this time

It's a fish on

a small one I think

what is it? I don't get it

- Is it better?
- I don't know

- Is the roach still on?
- no
