Janne Turunen was ice-fishing pikes in Lielahti area this morning. He made his new record in ice-fishing pikes. The bait was a Niko´s balance-jig ( in photo). This female fish hit the bait at 10.15, and it weights 9,7 kgs. The fish must have been really hungry. You could see a tail fin of a nice size bream in the throat of the pike.
So I had to take photos!

The Lake of Biel, Switzerland 27.2.
Adreas, Michel, Alfred, Harry ja SFM-toimitus
Bernin exhibition was over monday evening.Tuesday was the day of feed-back. Finally, wednesday was a day for fishing! I had asked my friend Andreas to get tutoring in hegene-fishing at the original enviroment of this teqnique. Hegene is a rig of flies with which swiss fish specially whitefishes (Coregonus lavaretus). Arctic chars and perches take hegene, too.
We fished on the Lake of Biel. Our skipper was Harry. First place to be anchored was by the Island of St Peter. The great poet Schiller lived on this island 20 years. The echoload showed some fishes and we caught some fishes, too. Some small perches (minimum 15 cm) and 5 whitefishes (min 25 cm) Alfred 3, Andreas 1 and SFM-toimitus caught his first swiss whitefish with hegene.
