About Me
23 years old from Trollhättan Sweden. Been fishing since I was 5 and it all started with simple fishing for perch, roach and pike with my father. When I was around 10 I started match-angling and participated in several national championships. When I was 15 I moved to Forshaga to study at the sportfishing academy. At the same time I gave up match-angling to focus on specimen fishing instead. In Forshaga I meet many talented specimen-hunters and I joined the specimen-club SK Hookers. In 2006 we won the SST (Swedish Specimen Competition) probably as one of the youngest team ever with me as the youngest member.
After 2006 SK Hookers retired from the competion and today I only fish for my own.
I spend around 100 days a year on fishing and carpfishing is what I spend most time on. Other favourites are tench, roach, eel, perch and bream. Pike and zander are species that I plan to spend more time on targeting in 2011.
