This year’s first cod over 30 kg by
Mads Sylvest Jensen 30,5 kg and Lots of big fish on Giant Jighead and Red Ed
At Nordic Sea Anglings camp at Sørøya in Norway this year’s hunt for giant cod started last friday when the when the wind finally calmed down. Kinetic test team member Jakob Lindberg is one of Scandinavia’s most experienced sea anglers, and he was there with a couple of friends fishing for four days.
They were using Giant Jigheads and they also had a few samples of the new Magic Minnow Red Ed. Every day these jigs produced big fish over 25 kg. The biggest cod was caught on a Giant Jighead during their third day of fishing. Mads Sylvester Jensen was the one shouting out his excitement after catching a new personal best that took the scale to amazing 30.8 kg!
Jakob himself was a bit more humble and took a 25.2 kg cod as his best on this trip. This fish and a lot of other giant cods were actually released after their size had been determined by using a weigh sling. Jakob explains that it is important not to reel in the big fish to fast and to let them decompress below the boat. This way more than 90% of the cods can be returned unharmed and only a few fish are handed over to local fishermen.
As mentioned a few samples of the new Red Ed Jigs are currently being used at Sørøya. Jakob and his friends caught 12 cods over 20 kilos and several of these were on Red Ed. Sørøya Guide Ulf Hugsén tried a Red Ed (Blue Glamour color) and lost a very big fish when the line broke. He tied on a Rose Fish color instead and caught three fish from 15 to 22.6 kilos in no time.
Right now Torben Christensen - aka TC -from Kinetic and the camp record owner Filip Faurholm are fishing up there and have just caught a 23 kilo cod on Red Ed. A video showing how Red Ed works under water can be seen on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZf1LzQzSHU
For those who can’t get enough sea fishing. We have also uploaded a new halibut video shoot in the Tromsø area last spring while using a Giant Jighead. Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ4PZaa7wbE
By the way: We have had a lot of requests on the new sea fishing jigs from Magic Minnow – Red Ed, Flat Matt and Scarry Jerry. They will be available in Sweden, Norway and Finland during April.
