Kinnekulle competition winner 2009 Team Timab Congratulations!!!

We came home yesterday. Our trip was fantastic, and we enjoyed good fishing in Sweden. Our Kinnekulle competition wasn't as we had hoped for, but we are still happy for other VK users absolutely fantastic successes. We caught 3 salmon around 4kg the first day and we were in the 6th position. Unfortunately size wasn’t with us the next two days and we finished in position 28 of 127 boats.

We were unsuccessful the last two days because we chose the wrong place. The weather was also too calm & beautiful which makes fishing very difficult. Maybe next year;-)

Team Timab won the Kinnekulle Competition and they used VK-Baitholders and Flashers. Also four another teams in the top ten used VK!!! There was also 4 fish weighing over 9kg that were caught during the competition days and all 4 of them took VK baitholders, include biggest fish in whole competition, Team Hooked/Toby’s 10,95kg salmon. That was another VK-VICTORY!!

After the competition we moved on to Simrishamn and fished with our friends for a couple of days. They took a salmon weighing 15.3 kg on a VK baitholder. On our first day it was very rough weather and we tried to start fishing. After 15 minutes fishing we caught an 11 kg Salmon with VK-Baitholder. Unfortunately we needed to stop fishing then because the sea was too rough. The second day had fantastic weather, but the fish were not biting. We were the only team for our 4 boats who caught salmon. The fish once again weighed 11kg and I got to fight the fish. It was a fantastic fighter and took on its first run about 150 meters of line off the reel. That salmon took a VK-Baitholder in the UV color. VK-baitholders work very good as well in the sea, I recommend you try them.

Thanks a lot to all our Swedish friends.
