![]() We hug each other and René says, thanks mate. Great to see the fight with such a big and strong fish. What a great fish and what a power she had. On the measuring mat she gets over the 116 cm. OooThe system with the trebles bend out, works perfect. Of course, the pike shakes her head with her mouth open as she jumps out of the water, and we both see the fireball going back and forth. The fish takes several times much line of the reel and bends the rod straight into the handle, goes a few times under the boat and when she comes up she also jumps a few times in the air. This looks like a very good fish I say to him, yes you have that right. So, that one is hooked, the rod is bending over and a good fish sharpens René right away. He picks up the rod and taps the reel, tightens the line and gives it a big hit. I felt a big hit and René saw it happen, he looks at me and says: how, what am I doing wrong, I say I do not know but this one is for you. Than i got another bite on the rod in my hand. When at some point we went over a spot where I lost a big fish a few weeks ago. Yet we both fished the same way so that could not be the problem. René did not had a bite all that time and started to get a bit grumpy. We decide to go back to the spot where i already had several bites. Sometimes you have those days that they really do not want to eat and you have to work hard to seduce them. Then for a long time it will remain uncomfortably quiet and we have already fished several spots. These were mainly smaller pike, so they were tapped next to the boat so they could quickly get back into the depths. Always a good moment when the pike swims back into the deep.Īfter this pike I get three more bites, two of them stay on the hook. Just take a few pictures, and he’ll be put back again. Fortunately, this one is also well hooked and I can take him out of the water. After the hit, the pike on the other side of the line again strongly reacted and it tries to escape with all its power. ![]() Until I feel that my baitfish is carefully lifted up, I give a bit line so the pike would not feel any resistance and wait a moment to set the hook. The day started very sunny but later it went cloudy and we even got a little bit of rain. The fish seems to be harder to catch than we thought in the morning. When we go further it takes a while before another bite comes. Although a baitfish that occasionally turns around during fishing like its wounded, can also be very effective. ![]() The advantage of a fireball under a floater is that you do not have to use extra lead under your floater, and your baitfish always hangs straight. This is also a very nice system that we have forgotten to take pictures of, but we will explain that in one of the following reports. The other fishing rod we use is provided with a floater and a fireball underneath. After putting back the fish, the other rods are prepared and we start moving over the water. That went pretty smoothly, less than five minutes and the first fish is already in the boat. When it,s next to the boat i grab him in his jaw and then we can take a picture. I set the hook and a nice strong pike tries to get rid of the hook. And a pike that swallows the fireball is the last thing we want. I wait 5 seconds so the pike can take the bait fish in his mouth, especially not longer waiting because we fish with 2 stingers, a pike of decent size has the whole bait fish easily in one hit in his mouth. I don,t get the chance to do so because the first fish on the fireball has already been taken by a pike. When I have prepared the first rod and the fireball is hanging in the water, I want to prepare my second rod. Here we will prepare the rods and we can start fishing. We move out of the harbor and a bit further we stop the boat for a moment. Also if you would hang a perch on the fireball, this works very well, a perch has a rather tough skin and if you use a treble without a bent hook, you have a chance that, when you set the hook you pull the hook further in the perch. This considerably increases the chances that you hook the pike or zander. Now when you set the hook, the hook is easily removed from the baitfish. We put these in the baitfish, 1 treble in the back of the fish and 1 treble in the belly of the fish. There are treble hooks on the stingers, and one of the hooks is bent out. The fireball,s have a weight between 25 and 40 grams, when the baitfish is a bit bigger than we use the heavier fireballs, and whit some smaller bait fish we use the lighter ones.
