-
Hannah and I have packed our suitcases
it's cold here in Sweden
-
We're heading to a warmer place
-
We're going to Spain
-
We're not only gonna chill and have
a good time
-
We're gonna be fishing for these
-
- Is it strong?
- yeah it's so strong
-
Oh Hannah it's a new PB!
-
We're gonna tell you everything
on how much an adventure like this costs
-
tag along
-
I'm so proud of Sara
-
I haven't hardly slept anything
you've been snoring so much
-
I'm not snoring Hannah, I've never heard
myself snoring ever
-
I haven't slept so much either, I'm really
stoked for this
-
You've been in Spain before but never
fished there?
-
I've been there 10-20 times but never
fished
-
- let's check in now, where to?
-I think it's this way
-
I think it's that way
-
- do you have your passport?
- I think so
-
Hello, do you want our passports?
-
feels good to not carry those
bags anymore
-
Mine is full of lures, I hope it
not get lost
-
I've got extra lures with me
-
let's find where to check in
-
We've driven here to Arlanda in our
nice Subaru
-
It's safely parked in the garage here
at Arlanda Airport
-
I don't know how much it will cost though
let's see when we arrive home again
-
But we know what the tickets cost
how much where they?
-
about 4600:-/person
with checked in luggage
-
you could save some money if you
book your tickets further in advance
-
I booked these three weeks ago maybe
-
If you do it a couple of months earlier
you could save some money
-
- it was a bit expensive
- yeah but it is what it is now
-
We're heading to the security check
and I'm a bit nervous for that
-
- you got any knives of pliers with you?
- no, let's head over there
-
I'm so hungry now
-
- aren't you always hungry Hannah?
- yeah I am
-
189:- for a shrimp sandwich
we can't afford that Hannah!
-
Arlanda is known for this,
an expensive shrimp sandwich
-
we can take a coffee each I think
but I have a surprise for you
-
the flight was so expensive
we need to save some money
-
Sara wouldn't let me buy that
shrimp sandwich
-
But you had an surprise for me?
show me now, you need to deliver
-
- you're hungry?
- yes I'm hungry
-
look what I have here Hannah
-
we save a lot of money now
-
You brought your own sandwhices?
-
can I have that one please?
-
Honestly this was really smart of you
-
You can indulge yourself more
when we're in Spain
-
cheers
-
No money on this but on latte
and on coffees
-
- cheers
- cheers
-
- and good morning
- good morning
-
It's to hot this coffee
-
they where tasty, a bit dry though
-
no they are freshly baked
-
- you haven't baked them yourself
- yes I have, this morning
-
we're sitting here waiting for the plane
that will take us to Madrid
-
from there we're heading to
Xpredator Lodge to meet Bruce Farina
-
who's gonna be our fishing guide
for the coming days
-
We've only seen him before in Zander Pro
but never met him
-
It'll be so much fun to meet him
-
"good morning ladies and gentlemen
this is your Captain speaking"
-
" fasten your seatbelts and
prepare for fishing"
-
We've finally landed in Madrid
and the flight went great
-
I'm tired and also nervous
over our luggage
-
A lot is at stake if it get lost
-
- our lures and rigs
- the colors we have just for this trip
-
Bruce our guide has helped us
which colors to have
-
we're just waiting here to know
where to pick up our luggage
-
And then we're gonna look out for
our flower luggage
-
- they need to be there
- I really hope so
-
- uno uno
- one one
-
We have a great time here just chilling
and can see the bags over there
-
there's my luggage
-
A few lures are safe now atleast
-
You're always a bit worried
-
I really hope your bag will come Sara
-
Yes yes yes
-
Both Hannah and I are smart
our luggage is easy to spot
-
We're ready now, so let's get to our
rental car and get going
-
- thank you
- thank you
-
The car is ready for us
-
- how much was it?
- it wasn't that expensive
-
It cost 1700:- and we pick it up here
ad Madrid Airport
-
And we can take it
all the way to Extremadura
-
- it's for 1 week?
- yes for 1 week
-
You need to put a deposit of 1400EUR
-
No crashing with the car
-
I get nervous now
-
let's go and have a look at the car
-
- there we have it
-It's red
-
It's not as nice as our Subaru back home
I miss our car now
-
But it will do for one week in Spain
-
It will take us to Extremadura
-
It's manual, that's so much fun
-
take it easy now Sara, no rally
-
I'm so excited, we don't know how it looks
-
It seems like this is it
-
It's really tight here
-
Hello, Xpredator lodge?
-
Xpredator lodge?
-
someone's honking
-
okey thank you
-
We can hear you
-
Look at this small cozy village
-
This is our road
-
- and look at that car
- that's Bruces car
-
Xpredator Lodge
-
we've arrived
-
what a nice little street we are at
-
It's so cozy, we made it
-
after a nice drive
-
and then we arrive here at this
tiny little village
-
It's probably not more than 500
living here
-
really cozy, I'm so stoked to
look at where we shall stay
-
It's over there I think
-
This will be our home
-
- knock
- it's open
-
wow
-
It's fish all over, wherever you look
-
I wonder if we're gonna be framed
if we catch a fish?
-
- probably
- probably not I would say
-
Let's ask Bruce about that later
-
let's have a look around
-
let's go get our bags
-
Dips for bass room
-
after a good night sleep we're really
stoked to see what this day will hold
-
yeah really stoked and we're on our
way to meet up with Bruce
-
- Hola
- Hola, nice to meet you
-
we're so excited to be here
-
- how was the flight? traffic ?
- everything was great
-
and the road here was amazing
-
- you passed from all the lakes?
- yeah it was crazy
-
you go up and you go down
-
it's so beautiful
-
and we're super excited to be here
-
it's time for fishing and for the boat
-
YEY, let's go
-
How long have you been working on
Xpredator lodge?
-
here in Spain for 6 years
-
so you really know the surroundings,
water and everything
-
Yeah a place with the most beautiful and
big lakes
-
you need a lot of time to understand
the place like this
-
what species do you usually
for here?
-
Customers usually comes here for
bass fishing and pike
-
also we have Zander and a
species like barbel fishing
-
They live here in Extremadura
a total predator
-
normally, how and where do you fish?
-
we have 5 lakes here
-
or more like a dam
-
They are borned from Guadiana river
-
There are 3 principal lakes
-
Cigara lake, Carcia Sola and Orellana
-
They are so different from one
to another
-
The first example in Garcia Sola
it's more wide
-
Orellana it seems more like a desert
-
they come from the same river but
it's totally different
-
In one lake there is a lot of grass
and in another just rocks
-
Now I would say it's pretty early fall
-
what can you expect for like
the size of the fish
-
and also the amount of fish?
-
The season is not started now
-
This is not a easy moment because
some fish are on the shore
-
and some are in the middle
-
you must spend time in the 2 conditions
with 2 kind of different lures
-
the size for example the pike the good
moment is in the winter
-
there are just a big pike or a big bass
-
the best conditions for big fish
-
but the medium size for example pike
can be 80-90cm
-
and for bass 1-2kg
-
As Bruce said,
we're in between summer and fall
-
which can make the fish be at
different spots
-
we'll have to drive around a lot
and look for them
-
It'll be really exciting
-
I'm so stoked to do this
-
Bruce I asked you for some expert help
on coloring of the bait
-
and you haven't seen them in real life
-
I have them with me so let's
take a look
-
- I can see them for the first time
- first time, yes
-
this is one of the color
-
This is flatnose with a rig
-
and some different kind of colors
-
The lighter color like this is better
-
It depends on the conditions
form the deep or kind of water
-
Which one do you think I should
start with today?
-
We can try to use one color of this one
and one like this
-
I'm excited
-
I'm gonna fish with monkey brute 12,5cm
-
And Bruce has designed this one
-
I've caught pike before on Monkey brute
but on 17cm
-
I'm excited to do the first cast now
-
we're fishing now at 4 meter dept
-
You can see bait fish everywhere
-
There are probably pike or Zander
that's hunting
-
it's a good sign
-
He told us to fish really slow
and close to the bottom
-
That's where the pikes are hiding
-
It feels like it's gonna strike any moment
-
I think I had a bite Hannah
-
- for real?
- yeah for real
-
yeah look at this, this was brand new
and now you see bite marks
-
That's so great with brand new jigs
that you can see
-
I hardly felt it in the rod
-
It almost felt like a stone
-
But we now that they are here
and active
-
now we just need to catch them
-
It's so beautiful here, you can see
wild animals
-
it's totally different
from what we have in Sweden
-
we're here and fish for pike
-
harmony
-
I have.. I have. NO I lost it
-
Oh no
-
I don't know
-
- You can catch it soon Sara
- yes
-
It was on for just like 1 second
-
If it's a Zander,
they have such hard mouth
-
so they are hard to hook
with a small drop shot hook
-
But there are some active fish here
that's really fun
-
YES!
-
I'll take the net
-
It feels like...
-
- what is it?
- I think it's a Zander
-
It's a tiny tiny zander
-
We don't need the net I think
-
So much fun
-
- well done Sara
- a zander
-
- It's so cute
- yeah really cute
-
It took on a drop shot
-
You could really feel the bite
-
a baby zander
-
we're at the middle of the lake and
it's about 9 meter deep
-
Bruce told us he see a lot of
fish on the sonar
-
it's really fun, a lot of small Zander
but hopefully some bigger ones
-
It was fun to really feel the bite
-
When you fish with dropshot you
fish really still
-
If you feel anything in the rod it's
probably a fish
-
so much fun to feel some action
in the rod
-
I have a fish
-
The strikes are so much fun
-
I think it's the same size as before
yeah it is
-
The bite was so hard
-
It was so sick
-
so much fun when you can feel
the fish bite
-
Not the biggest fish but so much fun
-
fun Sara, well done
-
You and Bruce can team up in Zander Pro
-
Well you can ask him if he would
team up with me
-
Bruce, what do you think about Sara
as your teammate in Zander Pro?
-
Yes why not
-
You can do the competition next year
-
- with you
- no with you Bruce
-
Ah with me?
-
zander is not my favorite fish
-
We just saw Juan Antonio and Dani drive by
-
We had dinner with them yesterday
and it was fantastic
-
we arrived at a restaurant in the
middle of nowhere
-
with a lot of beautiful lights
-
but the menu was in Spanish and neither
of us understand that so
-
So Bruce had to order for us
and it was so tasty
-
I've been a lot in Spain and have
eaten a lot of Spanish food
-
But this was something else
it was so tasty
-
And what's even better was the price
only 30EUR for me and Hannah
-
I could go there
every day of my whole life
-
there are mostly 3 species you can
catch here
-
It's zander, pike and bass
-
My dream would be a Spanish pike
-
It's closest to my heart
-
I don't wanna go home without
catching a pike
-
At this spot it's a shallow bay
-
and we can see a lot of grass in the water
-
It can be really hot
for both bass and pike
-
we try a lot of different techniques
-
Hannah is pro level at top water lures
-
with some poppers, it's so nice
when you get that bite
-
And I fish with lures
that go under the water
-
Right now I have a swim bait
or a jig with an offset hook
-
we're just casting all around the boat
-
and search from some active fish
-
I got a fish
-
I have one
-
It took right in the grass
-
It was such a gentle take
-
nice
-
Look how fun
-
It really look like a perch
-
This is a small bass
but so much fun
-
It took the lure
in the middle of the grass
-
I've been fishing with
this offset rigged jig
-
and this one was hiding among the grass
-
And that bite, I really thought I was
stuck in the grass
-
It was so soft, and I think the bass
doesn't bite that hard
-
So much fun
I'm really happy now
-
well done Sara
-
It feels nice when you catch a fish
and you know that they're active
-
So much fun to fish bass in Spain
-
I wanna catch a bass too now
-
You can see the grass everywhere
-
It's always hot in the grass in Sweden
-
oh shit!
-
it's another...
-
it's a small pike
-
a tiny baby pike
-
a tiny Spanish baby pike
-
a really fun take
-
a wasp is following me, I'm so scared
-
It's after me again
-
seriously?
-
I'm gonna release it
-
Those small pikes are hard to hold
-
we unhooked it in the water
-
But there are active fish here
-
we've had contact with one bass
and one pike now
-
we keep on fishing here
it's a large surface to cover
-
I didn't even see you fish Sara
-
I had a wasp in my ear
but well done Sara
-
No worries, I understand
I'm just like you
-
I get so irritated by people that say
you should just stay still
-
You can't say that to someone
who's afraid of wasps
-
You can't just stand still and let it
fly in your ear
-
run for your life and hope
it goes away
-
Oh my God!
-
Oh my God Hannah it's following
you bait
-
a really big pike that followed Saras lure
-
and then followed my lure
-
that one will bite again
-
- you saw how big it was?
- yes it will come again
-
It was so cool, at first it was
after my bait
-
and then It saw Hannahs bait
-
oh my god
-
I think that one is gonna take
again maybe
-
because it didn't strike
it just followed
-
It's always after me
-
it was fun to feel something in the rod
-
we fished this spot now and we're
grind to another spot now
-
on a hunt for bigger fish
-
oh look at the sheep
-
What if it fall in the water
-
This is not that usual back home
-
You're in your boat fishing, and then you
see sheep on land
-
they are climbing, and eating
-
so much fun
it's baby sheep aswell
-
they are so cute
-
baby sheep?
they are called lamb
-
great Sara
-
so what?
-
wow this is so sick
-
It feels like abroad,
well we are abroad
-
It feels like we're in a movie
-
It feels computer made
-
I've never seen a place like this before
-
I wanna remember this forever
-
everything is so cool
-
we're having lunch here that Bruce
made for us
-
- I'm so hungry
- I'm hungry aswell
-
top up with some energy so that
we can keep on fishing
-
imagine living here
-
take a swim in the morning
-
- shall we swim?
- it would've been nice
-
a well deserved lunch break
-
we couldn't have a better spot
for eating lunch
-
- this is crazy
- I wanna take the first bite now
-
this was really nice
-
the scenery, the food, fishing
can't beat that
-
Both Hannah and I are obsessed with food
-
we love food more than
anything else as you can see
-
- why are you laughing?
- well it's the truth
-
I need to ask Bruce for this recipe
I want to make it myself at home
-
It's perfect for lunch
-
perfect when you're out fishing
-
I'll ask him for the recipe and then
I get back to you
-
and we can make a lunch tip for
at home
-
Here in these conditions this spot
in the high season
-
it's a perfect place for a big predator
like a big bass or pike
-
It's full of little sheds for hunting
-
Bruce, me and Hannah are not used
to walking
-
In Sweden we never walk
-
we like to sit down
-
Look at this, it's a cave
-
let's go inside Sara
what if it falls in?
-
It's a Dolma, Bruce said that back in
the days they buried people here
-
- Would you dare to go inside?
- no
-
I'm to long for this,
oh it's really cool in here
-
I'm not that nimble
-
I guess a lot of dead families have
been lying here
-
let's go outside again
-
you can walk this way
-
I'm destroying the dolma
-
So much fun that he's showing us
these weird places
-
This is it, the experience
-
I'm loving it
-
Bruce has up to 10 rods in his boat
with different lures on each of them
-
It's so easy and depending on what
species and where
-
you need different rods, reels
and lures for that specific
-
I've got a fish
-
Or? no
-
I don't know
-
yeah I think so
-
but, I don't know, maybe not
but it was like a bite
-
Sara had a strike and it seemed
to be from a bass
-
That's prefect, I just switched to a
crank bait that Bruce recomended
-
We've got so many rods in this boat
-
and it's just a few of what Bruce has
at home
-
We had a look in his fishing gear storage
-
It almost looked like a fishing shop
-
He had rods and reels in lines
-
it was really cool
-
It really feels luxury, Bruce just
hands me the rod I'm needing
-
We can just stand there and cast
and he gives us what we need
-
I think I had something
-
maybe I was...
-
I got one!
-
It's a bass
-
No you lost it
-
It was a big bass
-
It was so sick, it jumped
-
really nice to feel that take
-
I felt it and thought at first
that I was stuck
-
they bite when you at least know it
-
but so nice and my whole body
is so excited now
-
Now I'm awake, I wasn't quite ready before
-
oh shit!
-
- what is it Sara?
- what a strike
-
Bruce is coming with the net
-
what is it?
it's a zander
-
Not for the net but wow
what a strike!
-
It's a bit better this zander
-
wow so much fun
and what a strike
-
these strikes are so hard
and you really can tell
-
This one put up a real fight
-
You feel alive now
-
- You got one?
- yeah
-
what is it?
-
a bass
-
nice work
-
it's your first bass
-
so much fun, at first I felt like BAM!
-
and then I saw it on the surface
-
how dit it feel?
-
Not like a pike strike
-
a usual strike If I'm putting it that way
-
- your first bass
- so cool
-
- congrats Hannah, well done
- thank you
-
I'll release it
-
check on my first ever bass
-
- good catch Hannah, your first bass
- thank you Bruce, and for the help
-
I will always remember this one
-
You will always remember this day
for your first bass
-
So much fun Hannah! I'm such
a proud friend now
-
and speaking of bass, there are a big
bass tournament here in Exrtremadura
-

-
we're just at the finish line at this
bass tournament
-

-

-
we'll go and have a look
-
I've never seen so many bass boats
-
It looks really cool
-
