Insane weather the last couple of days. The fishing has been tough, to say the least, but we were rewarded with some really good ones. The biggest came in at 1520 g / 47 cm.

Phenomenal sea trout fishing lately!

Rikard absolutely smashed his old PB with this beast of a trout.

The water is slowly cooling down, and that means it’s time for some finesse fishing for big perch - my number one thing in the world to do.

Fishing has been on fire lately! Landed a 49 cm perch, an absolute beast for these waters. The stretch of beautiful, stable weather over the past few weeks seems to have really fired up the perch activity.

Phenomenal fishing yesterday evening. I went for a short solo trip and got rewarded big time. Lot’s of big ones!

Adapt or die.

When the perch didn’t cooperate, we switched gears and targeted pike instead - a decision that paid off big time. It didn’t take long before I landed this beast, setting a new personal best!

I used to favor overcast skies and strong winds for pike fishing, but after the past few days, I might have to rethink that…

What an amazing gift for my 42nd birthday from mom and dad. Two stunning oil paintings of my beautiful kids, each with its own funny story. Here’s the tale behind the painting of my daughter:

In May 2022, I took an iPhone photo of her during a fishing trip. My mom later shared this photograph on Facebook. One of her friends messaged her, asking for permission to turn the photo into a painting for personal use. My mom happilly agreed.

Fast forward to much later, another one of my mom’s friends called her from an art vernissage in town, saying, “I’m looking at this painting of your granddaughter, and I’m about to buy it!” My mom, who didn’t know the painting had ended up at a vernissage, immediately shouted, “Hold your horses! That painting is mine!” and rushed over to buy it.

But of course, my mom couldn’t stop there. If there’s a painting of my daughter, there had to be one of my son too! So she reached out to a talented artist friend in Spain, who created a beautiful oil painting of him as well.

The best gift a dad could ever get ❤️

Epic fishing last weekend! We quickly dialed in the perfect bait presentation and had the perch biting in no time. Lot’s of fish and lot’s of big fish were caught. The fish were in amazing condition with full bellies, thick necks, and wide bodies.

We have some rough weather incomming. Maybe this was the last trip of 2024, time will tell.

Good fishing! This lunker took in the last 15 minutes of daylight. Never give up!
