Big salmon for European Trolling Championship


Antti Rautio and his team caught this big 15.6kg salmon during the European Trolling championship in Helsinki this June. It was the biggest fish caught in the competition and it took a baitfish in a VK-Baitholder on the surface. The competition's second biggest fish weighed 15,1kg and was also caught on a VK-baitholder behind a VK-flasher. It was Vesa (European Champion 2006) from the VK-Products company that caught it. Vesa also caught the biggest sea trout for the competition. VK users won almost all first prizes in this year’s European Trolling Championship, including the competition’s daily prizes for days 1 & 2 and the prize for President Salmon Trophy (First fish in the competition over 10kg), and a big percentage of all salmon in the competition came from VK-Baitholder, including the two biggest salmon and sea trout on competition.
