ok, looks like we've got a destination for another road trip!!!!!  

Yeah Boss. Beautiful moutain, medow, and fiord scenery, productive cold water fishery, quaint northern  europian buildings and 6ft. Tall blonde women, naked in the sauna(fantasy part). Time to go see the old country!  

Putte, that was no Bergman film, but was very well done and entertaining( favorite Bergman movie: Fanny  and Alexander, circa 1983?)

Great thread Putte - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Justin

Awesome video amigo, really enjoy it


I dont know the brand of the reel but looks pretty solid and sturdy, it should be good for some big habilbuts

This one is a Maxel Sealion OSL08DH and i really like the feel of it, feels like a tank ! Gonna try it out during 3 weeks of halibutfishing this summer !

This is the way i tackle my gear to go "HaliHunting".... I use 1 mm nylon or fluorocarbon as chockleader, about 1 meter long. The joint between the braided line and the chockleader is a powerful swivel and down towards the bait i also use a strong swivel and a splitring of HIGH quality, i´ve seen to many straightened by a big fish. And i check all the knots, the condition of the leader, the hooks after every days fishing. On this lure i also put on a stinger hook, sometimes when the "Butt" is careful and don´t attack the lure they just nibble the tail of it. But it can make catch and release a bit harder, if the fish swallow the bait.
