The Season Just Started

This is the first day of the season. After a long Swedish winter that don’t want to go away finally a little sunshine. I took the opportunity and went fishing for a few hours. I could stay only 4 hours but everything went fine. After two hours of casting the wobbler I caught the first pike of the year. Look at him! What a beauty!

The pike attacked the Perch Storm Kickin' Minnow lure. I was no expecting this because I don’t trust very much soft lures. However after one more hour, another attack to the Storm Lure convinced me that in the future probably I need to reconsider soft lures. This time the attack felt differently. After 10 seconds the fish was hooked I felt that it was not a pike. It could have not been a pike. The fish was much faster than a pike and was fighting quite vigorously. After a 2 min fight it finally showed up from the water. To my surprise it was an Asp, a threatened and protected species in Sweden.

After a few a photos the Asp went back to the water :-)
