The Swedish Ice Fishing Record!

This is a translation of the article about Anders Bergman from FC Competition setting the new Swedish record for a 4-hours tournament.




Today's ice fishing competition at Borgsjön was an enormous success for FC Competition and the Pro Pimple Jumbo!

Anders Bergman wins at incredible 34 625 grams /(76lbs)! Ola "Jangler" Sundstrom 2nd at fantastic 30 982 grams!

Anders and Ola were fishing in a depth of 13-16 feet. No sneaking off to sit alone but along with several other skilled anglers. That is how real winners stand out!

Anders told me that the fish ranged from 2 - 7 oz but also some really big ones. A very nice Perch of 44 1/2 oz. By that fish he also won the side competition Biggest Fish. Grand slam!

It was a winning tactic to lift the schools a few meters from the bottom by raising the lure a little bit after each fish. This, as well as not sit too long in each hole became the method of the day.

Both Anders and Ola used their ProPimple Jumbo with a treble hook size 10. That lure was new 2008 and have already been involved in many victories including 3 weights over the dream limit 30 kg(66 lbs). (Samuelsson had 32 kg(70 1/2 lbs) in the Sundsjön earlier this year.
The fishing spot was a 30-minute brisk walk from the start and Anders had only a minute left of the official time, when he dripping with sweat and numb arms managed to drag himself and the catch off the ice. He cursed himself for starting the walk home so late.

CONGRATULATIONS Anders Bergman to a great win and the new Swedish record! Congratulations to "Jangler" for second place and another big catch!
