It's really huge! - Grab it, Kenneth!
I'm confused.
We have to weigh this one. - What a pike!
12kg+
It takes line!
What a head! - Awesome!
11kg+
This is a better one.
What a pig! - Gimme give!
I'm satisfied!
Monster! - What a monster fish!
It's around 2 million Swedes who sport fish every year and I also see..
..an increase in young people who's fishing. That's really fun!
Since the ice in south of Sweden is dangerous to walk on, I will drive up north.
Up there, I will meet two youngsters by name Lucas and Joel and they've..
..had really good fishing lately.
What's fun with them is that they've followed us in Team Galant for a long time.
They have asked me to go fishing with them and finally, I have time to do it.
Hopefully, one of us will catch a really big pike.
I've arrived and this is Joel and this is Lucas.
What's the plan for tomorrow? - We will fish on a medium size lake..
..close to the bottom for big pike. - Great, have you caught many meter fish?
We've caught some good fish, many over one meter.
Sounds promising! - Indeed.
Let's go and sleep, wake up early and catch a pig!
Let's do it!
I'm confused! - First flag for today and it takes line!
Let's set the hooks!
See how big it is.
A little bit bigger!
It's always good to feel fish and Lucas has another flag over there.
A small pike with nice colors is the first fish for today.
When I do ice fishing, I always have a plier in my pocket. I can then unhook..
..the fish quick and smooth.
Release it quick and run to Lucas.
In this lake, it's best fishing very early. The best time is during the sunrise and..
..until 12 o'clock, then they stop to eat. Therefore, we're out fishing very early.
Six rods is fishing and the clock is 6.30 am. Let's continue to put out more rods!
Catch a pig!
Is it a better one? - Yes!
It's a nice fish!
Must be over 3 kg.
Yep! - It has a big head.
Is it fun to fish? - Extremely fun.
What a great start! - Indeed!
Awesome! - Nice colors.
Great pattern!
This baitfish was 2 meters above the bottom because the pikes in this..
..lake often swims deep. - Sounds right when you catch fish this quick.
We will measure it and see how long it is.
It's important to put water on the math in order to not damage the mucus layer.
It's around -3°C and that's no problem, you just need to hurry a little bit.
We will put the measuring tape beside the pike, because if you put it over..
..you will not measure it correct.
Let's measure it and it is 107 cm long. - That's great!
Three pikes and three flags, the biggest one on 107 cm.
That's great! - Release it!
That's a pig! - Well done, really good!
We haven't had time to measure the depth in this hole yet and..
..since we caught a decent fish, we will see if we can find any pattern.
Let's put the Deeper into the water and find out.
I put the Deeper in the hole and take out my phone.
You can see it's 6,3 m deep and 1°C in the water and since it's..
..best fishing above the bottom, Joel will now free spool the reel.
You can then see on the Deeper when the sinker is going down.
It's best fishing 2 meters above the bottom and that's where the sinker is at now.
Put the line on the indicator and you'll then have perfect depth.
We have some more rods to put out before we can start the barbecue.
Three fish this early, can't get any better than this.
Flag!
It takes line!
That's a sound we like. - Catch a big one!
Looks decent!
A little bit better.
It is a better fish.
Since it's a better fish, I will land it for him.
Let's see if I can grab it. - Yeah.
Do you see him? - Yes.
Do you have two treble hooks? - Yes.
Another meter fish, two fish over one meter before all the rods are out.
That's really good! - Very good.
You know how to do!
As you can see, I have the eyes underneath the water so they won't freeze.
It's some wind so you need to be careful. Let's unhook it.
Here we go.
Meanwhile he puts water on the math, I put the eyes in the water once again.
I try to put the whole fish underneath the water as well.
Time to put it on the math, no weight? - Nope, not necessary.
I think it weighs 7-7,5 kg because it's quite long.
We put the measuring tape beside the pike. - The other side.
Let's see how long it is. - It's 106 cm long.
One 106 cm and one 107 cm pike before all the rods are fishing.
Gimme five, well done! - Great!
It's time to release it. - It's king.
When ice fishing, I think it's really important to find pattern why the fish..
..was caught in a specific hole.
I've measured the depth in my holes but haven't had time to measure theirs.
Since we caught another big fish, I will use the Deeper to look for similarities.
If it's around the same depth, it could be a good idea to move some rods.
It's around one meters difference between the holes. Joel, lower your sinker.
This is a good depth to put the baitfish on.
The upper line is the sinker and the lower line is the hook.
Next time, we will know exactly the depth we catch the fish on.
During this winter, I've been ice fishing extremely much.
I've seen that the devil is in the details and small things matters.
For example, this fish that Edvin caught, we saw a drop off with the Deeper..
..and then he put his fish on the top. All of a sudden, this happens.
What's happening? - I'm fighting a big fish.
It's on the rod closest to the camp. I've been fighting it for I don't know how long.
2 minutes maybe. - Yes and I can't get any line.
I haven't seen it yet but I think it's coming now.
It's a 10 kg+ fish!
Maybe 12kg!
Is it big? - It's a really big fish.
An enormous fish, could be a new personal best. I must land it by myself.
I've caught three 10kg+ pike on this reel but now it's starting to break.
It takes much line! - It had a really good girth.
Could be a 13 kg fish. - Yes, if it's in good condition.
I can't handle it, I'm too nervous for this. I just want to land it!
Is it big? - It is really big!
Oh no! - It will soon come.
It's very heavy, kinda feels like it's stuck in the bottom.
Holy cow!
What a head!
It's really big! - Grab it, Kenneth!
Monster! - It's not 13 kg but easy over 10 kg.
Could be a 12 kg fish. - It's very long.
Look at the head, it's enormous!
What a pig! - It's not small!
I think it weighs 11 kg. - Sure!
What a pig!
I take a Snapchat and send to Philip. - Bullseye!
We've put out all the rods except one and on that one, I will show you how I rig them.
This is a quite big and quite deep lake that's located in the middle of Sweden.
What's interesting is that you must fish close to the bottom to catch fish.
You won't catch anything if you put the baitfish just underneath the ice.
This is what Lucas & Joel has told me and I've also heard it from other anglers.
It's quite cold up here during the winter and instead of using an ice axe..
..I've borrowed Lucas motor drill. You will soon see how thick the ice actually is.
Time to start it!
Done! I will show you how thick the ice actually is.
I have a measuring tape on my ice scoop. Let's put this in the water and see.
Nope, not long enough. Not down yet.
Now it's down! We have ice from the bottom up to about here.
It measures 30 cm so I would guess we have about 40 cm of ice today.
That's the reason why I don't make the holes with an ice axe, as I do when I'm south.
The ice fishing set-up is exactly the same I've used for two years.
First an indicator, two balls in different colors and a bell so I hear the flags.
Baitcasting reel, a short rod that's fun to fight fish on and one thing I've..
..noticed and got many questions about is which hook I'm using.
This is what I'm using. I also think only one hook is enough.
The model is Owner ST41-BC and I like it because it's a strong hook.
When using this small hook in size 4 or 6 you do not want it to..
..straighten when fighting a big pike and this don't.
This is not the case on many other brands and models on smaller hooks.
This hook is perfect for ice fishing.
Of course, I will use the Deeper to see how deep it is and..
..also to put the baitfish on the right depth. Although, you've already seen that.
Instead, I will show you another function that will help you with your fishing.
That'll do it and as you can see, it's 8 meters deep. What's cool is if you..
..press this button, you can see the map. On the map, you can see all holes we made.
With the new update, the Deeper shows you GPS-points on all the holes you've made.
Let's say we want to fish here next month and in this hole, we caught a 10 kg fish.
Of course, we want to put a rod on the same spot next month as well.
When using this app, we can easy find where to drill the hole.
This is a very good tool when out ice fishing.
It was because of that GPS-marker I've earlier this winter caught..
..two really big fish. The first one was 119 cm long and weighed 12,04 kg.
We've caught a really big pike. - I think it's over 12 kg.
12,34 with the sack. - I felt it was a pig when I grabbed it.
What a pike, 12kg+!
Monster! - What a monster!
Two weeks later I've caught one more that was 115 cm long and weighed 11,40 kg.
Look at the pig!
Weighs over 11 kg and was 115 cm long.
What a fish! - Big.
It's time to release it.
Time to eat and today we've brought a stock with a cross.
I just pour lighter fluid in there and lights it. It will then burn..
..for several hours and we can cook whatever we want.
Just put the match in there and it will start to burn.
Since it will burn for a long time, you don't need to bring much wood.
I've been ice fishing for a while and made my own indicators.
This is how they looks like and I think they works quite good.
I attach the line in this clip and then I have one red and one black ball..
..that works good in different weather.
I have a stick that I attach the indicator on.
Back here, I have a clamp in order for the rod not to touch the ice.
I have a reel with a counter so I can see how far the pike has swum.
I can also remember which depth I've put the baitfish.
I've made my own anti-freeze plugs since it's often subzero temperatures here.
I add washer fluid in there so the line doesn't freeze.
It's soon 4 o'clock and they've had really slow fishing during the afternoon.
Our plan is to go home and since we caught many early in the morning..
..we will wake up and be here very early.
That's our tactics and hopefully, we catch a big one tomorrow.
Let's pack everything together and go home.
It's very early on the same lake we were fishing yesterday.
It's time to put out the rods.
Is it a better one? - Indeed!
Is it nice? - It's a good one!
It's a much bigger fish. - For sure? Nice.
Much bigger.
Is it over one meter? - Well.. The fish has some leeches on it.
Finally one that's a little bit bigger.
It was a good take.
How hard break do you have?
Normal?
That's a nice fish!
What a head! - Awesome!
That's a better fish!
This is fun!
We must weigh this one! It's 103 cm long.
103 cm? - No, 113 cm but it's 114 cm.
It's 114 cm long. - That's great!
We've weighed the IKEA-bag and found out that the pike weighed 9,82 kg.
See you, my friend! - Gimme five!
Good work! - Really good!
You catch all the big ones these days. - Yeah.
He explained to me that he has luminous beads on his rigs.
You can show it.
This is how I've made my rigs, it's two luminous beads on it.
I've noticed that the pikes in this lake likes bling bling.
I can imagine, since we're fishing quite deep and it's thick ice, it's very dark..
..down there and the luminous beads helps the pike to see the baitfish.
Could be something like that. - You have got more flags than we have.
For sure.
I'm satisfied!
Catch a pig now! - It's a pig.
It takes line!
Fish on!
Indeed, could be a meter fish.
One meter fish!
Do you land it yourself? - Yes, I do.
Although, you can remove some snow and ice from the hole.
It has some weight. - That's great.
It's a nice fish!
It's hooked very loosely.
Yes! - Perfect!
It's time for me to leave this 40 cm thick ice and drive south for big perch.

..and follow us on Instagram and Facebook. Links is in the description.
Although, I must say that is has been really fun to fish with Lucas and Joel.
Good work, you guys are really skilled. Keep on ice fishing one more month.
That's roughly how long time before the ice disappears up here.
Great work Joel, since you caught a 9,82 kg pike. It's a really big pike.
See you!
