Some times you can lose your sparkle. Especially when you have broken two engines in the beginning of the season…
This picture is from the second time…
A short while after this mess I was invited to fish 4 days with my Team Pikewallis, Frèdèric Jullian and Loic Corroyer ( the french guys from france ).
I can promise that I forgot «the mess» at home and the sparkle was back again the first day I meet these people.
We were two boats and the first day I was fishing with the deadbait specialist Roger Hoftvedt. It’s a big privilege to fish with a man with his experience.
Our plan this day was deadbait at the bottom with the rods on the shore.
It’s a lot of work before everything is out in the water…
Rods rigged and ready for some run…
I’m most familiar with spin fishing but this is very ecxiting in another way. When you have placed all the baits you just have to wait…
I had saved two cold beers to celebrate if we took a big pike. The weather was so nice so I coulden’t wait for the big one so I invited Roger to taste it.
Just when we had opend it the alarm start to wine at one of Roger rods. He sets the hooks directly and could feel something heavy in the other end…
After a short fight we could see a beatiful pike landed in the net…
Yeeees it was :D!!!
The master himself shows how it works, or was it because we started earlier with the celebrating??? :-).
In the middle of the day the rest of the crew joined me and Roger for some well tasted lunch.
After lunch we where back on track again.
The red Tracker dissapeard and it was only me, Roger and 6 rigged rods with deadbait left…
Two and a half hour later my heart start to pump as hell when we hear the second run for the day at one of my rods…
When the pike was ready for landing we could reqognise it… It was the same that Roger took in the beginning of the day…
It can’t be more fair. The same pike to us both :-).
The best moment is when you see them swim back in their right environment…
So far it had been an incredibly day with two fantastic runs, but that wasn’t the last one…
It’s the end of the day and I’m just asking Roger if he ever has caught the same pike 3 times in one day… Just when he answer NO, the alarm goes again on the rod placed farest away.
I begin to run the second time this day and my heart have to work hard again while the adrenaline is flushing through me…
When the pike is landed we can’t belive our eyes… It’s the same pike again, THE THIRD TIME THIS DAY and it’s 4,5 h since we landed it the last time… INCREDIBLE!!! Nice to see that catch and realease works!
It was four fantastic days and I have to thank all of the people who made it so god!
