112 cm - Last big pike of the ice fishing season?
The other day Daniel Hein from Kinetic was out on the ice on a small Danish lake to try our Kinetic ice fishing rods and our new Kinetic Icecore drills. It was a quick afternoon session and the drill was used extensively. Luckily the quality of the drill made the job easier, and the pikes also seemed to cooperate:
“After catching five smaller pike, we decide to drill a few more holes even though the day is coming to an end. At first nothing happens and we start packing our gear. We are about to take in the last rod as something attack the baitfish. In a steady pace the line disappears into the hole over the deepest part of the lake. As I strike and set the hooks the response is solid and heavy. There’s no doubt. It’s a big pike. After a few runs and some heavy headshaking the head of a big pike shows up in the 200 mm hole. Without further complication I’m able to get a gill grip and land the fish. It’s carefully placed in a weigh sling and the weight is determined: 10.9 kilos. The length of the impressive fish is measured to 112 cm. After a few photos in the very last light of day, the pike is safely returned to its world below the ice.
It is important to point out, that we never keep a pike out of the water in freezing temperatures, since there’s a risk of harming their eyes. Luckily the temperatures this day was above freezing,” says Daniel.
Right now temperatures in Denmark are relatively high and the ice is melting. Daniels pike might very well be the last big fish of the short Danish ice fishing season.

10,9 kilo – Sæsonens sidste storgedde fra isen?
Daniel ”Iceman” Hein fra Kinetic var på isen på en mindre dansk sø for at prøve vores isfiskestænger og det nye Kinetic Icecore isbor. Det blev til en hurtig eftermiddagstur, hvor der blev boret flittigt og resultatet udeblev ikke:
”Efter at have fanget fem mindre gedder, bliver vi enige om at bore et par huller mere, selvom det sker mens aftensolen kaster sine sidste stråler. Umiddelbart sker der ikke mere, og vi beslutter at pakke sammen. Før vi når at få den sidste agnfisk ind er der hug. Stille og roligt forsvinder linen ned I det mørke vand ude i det dybe parti af søen. Et solidt modhug bliver besvaret med tunge rusk, der vidner om tung gedde. Efter nogle få udløb viser der sig en stor gedde nede I 200 mm hullet. Uden den store dramatik bliver gedden håndlandet. En tur I vejeslyngen viser en vægt på imponerende 10,9 kg og målebåndet afslører at gedden er 112 cm lang. Efter et par fine fotos I det absolutte sidste aftenlys bliver gedden sendt retur.
Det er i øvrigt vigtigt at understrege at vi aldrig har fisk oppe til fotografering i hård frost, da det skader øjnene. På dette tidspunkt var temperaturen heldigvis over frysepunktet”, slutter Daniel.
Lige nu er det tøvejr her i Danmark, så den fine gedde var muligvis en værdig afslutning på isfiske sæsonen.
