NORRKOPING 2008 - BREAM GALORE FESTIVAL !!

       
Read the full report in Matchangler.com



   In 2008 the disciples of the Bream God : BRAXEN made their pilgrimage to the mecca of Bream land at NORRKOPING with the promise of large nets !! The disciples were promised the possibility of a potential weight of 120 kilos in 5 hours as the record was 119.5 kilos !!!
         The God , the man ,the legend , the Will Raison of Swedish match fishing,  Stefan Holst held that record and asked we all bring 2 keepnets as when he had 119.5 kilos previous .......(they could not lift his single net out of the water . He had to spoon fish out of the net to weigh them !) Also asked to make sure that all nets were long , at least 4-6 metres long as most pegs were 2 metres off the water !





Fishing club Jokers are the host club for the competition
