Big Fish

This autumn has been so busy that I really have not had the time to update our blog on all the fishing reports and pictures that we have received, but below are the best catches the last month using VK-Bait holders. I have received a lot of pictures and short reports of catches of big salmon and trout caught using VK-Products fishing equipment. Would just like to say thank you, and congratulations on landing these big fish!
Some of the pictures I found on blogs.

Another VK-Victory Finnish Championship

Last weekend Team Kuksijat 1 (Jarmo and Jari Suvanto) won the Finnish Lake Salmon Fish Championships. They were using VK-baitholders and on the first day they caught two really nice fish. The total weight was 6.719g and they caught both fish on original size VK baitholders. Their trout weighed 4.504 kg and was the biggest fish caught in the competition.

143 boats started this big two day competition in Lake Päijänne. In the three boat team competition we took 5th place again like last year. One of our three boat team member caught a really nice trout. The fishing was however a little difficult. Our own result was a little poor, we caught many pike, lost one trout and unfortunately had many damaged baits due to fish baits.

This win was fantastic, it was the 4th Finnish Championship Victory for VK-Baitholders in three seasons on the market. The older victories were the Inari Finnish Trolling Championship in 2008, the Helsinki Sea Salmon Trolling Finnish championship in 2008 and the Finnish Lake Salmon Fishing Championship in Lake Päijänne in 2009. In 2009 VK users won the European Championship in Helsinki which was a sea salmon competition. Also in these three years VK-users have won a lot of other different victories in Finland, Sweden and Norway.

VK-Victory in Norway

I get report from Team Håven Norway. Congratulations Ove!

"Hey Mika

I'm sending you a little report from this year's trolling competition; Storsjødreggen on Storsjøen, Norway, which I attended 29-30.6. I had a fantastic fishing for trout there with the VK-bait. I won the competition with the largest trout at 7080 grams, a fairly big and beautiful trout! I won the trolling competition overall, with all 16410 grams of fish .. All trout were caught on VK bait, and I think this is a great baitholder that I have fished extremely well with this year. I also won the general-trolling competition at Femund in 2009 with the most kilograms fish with VK baitholder, and I will take part in the some another trollingcompetition and I'll go 100% on VK's amazing baitholders :)

Team Proviset in Åland

I got report from Team Proviset, Arja and Niko.
They have been fishing Åland the last 2 weeks. They had 15 salmon strikes and landed 12 of the salmon in the boat. They also lost 2 huge fish in the competition, both because the new 0,46 line broke. The twelve salmon weighed 4kg, 4.5kg, 4.5kg, 6.7kg, 7.5kg, 9.5kg, 9.5kg, 9.5kg, 10kg, 10.5kg, 13kg and 13.7kg

The recipe was small VK- baitholders in Coho Blue chrome, "Lapinkulta", Purple Black Chrome and Gold colors, with 13-15cm baitfish.

Eight of the salmon were caught behind the new 6" VK-Flasher with a 120cm long leader, Some were also caught behind the bigger original size model. The flasher colours UV, Chrome and Gold with different color tapes worked fantastic. The team had a trolling speed of 1.5-1.6 knots and they used big and slow barrel rotating with bait.

Their result in the competition was 4th and they took the 9th biggest fish.

Arja fought all of the fish and Niko was just the deckhand:-)

Congratulations on a fantastic fishing holiday.

"Hi Mika
Here is a fishing report from us. We fished and won the second leg of FK Trollspöts club championship today. We caught and took home 4 salmon and 1 trout. The biggest fish we caught today was also the biggest fish in the competition so far and was a salmon that weighed 9720g and took a VK-Rax 742s baitholder behind a UV50s VK-Salmon flasher on the downrigger. This was also a new PB for my son Albin. We tried the new UV112 "Disco" baitholder today and it worked great and gave us 2 of the fish. The other baitholders that took fish were the SS07 and the SS01.

"We had fantastic fishing on Lake Vänern last Saturday. 10 Salmon in the boat, 8 of them were "goodsize" Small baitfish "löja" in the VK- baitholders worked very well. The colors that worked best was "klunssila" and "watermelon chrome". We fished 150ft behind the boat with 40-80gr lead. The salmon we took home had a weight just over 33kg. We released 2 goodsize 61 and 70+cm. Here is a picture of the biggest salmon we caught 83cm VK-baitholder "klunssila" with 40gr lead.

"Hi Mika

Fourth place total in the kinnekulle competition in Sweden
Here is some about our three competitions days, Friday was a short day because the weather forecast
said very strong winds up to 12-15 m/s so we must be back at the harbour at 13:30
Because of the high wind forecast we choose a fishing place there we would have some shelter from it, only one under size salmon that day!
On Saturday we could go to the fishing area that was the plan from the beginning, and we find the fish and got six salmons
but one was a wild salmon to put back in the water so we had five salmons to the harbour 22,5 kg.
Sunday we had six salmons and trouts 31,2 kg, and first price that day for the Sundays fishing.
The VK produts Worked GREAT as always!! baitholder with (löja) and the flashers......
It was no time to take photos, the only taken photo is on my mate Filip with a Nice Trout 7,78 kg
Best regards
