Great video i would love to try my hand at this one day

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

You definitely should!

[@baccoff3308]

Nice video!

[@Krealot]

I can appreciate this alot ^^. It is so funny too, I have a personal best Cod at around 1.8kg, and where I live sadly, that is pretty decent. These fish are just stupid haha. Very nice :D

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

Thanks! Yeah the fishing there is pretty crazy compared to many other places :)

[@Krealot]

@@OnTheHookFishingTV That is what 20+ years of prohibitation on fishing does :). We should do something like it in Sweden as well :)

[@hurrdurrimaburr]

@@Krealot To late. An outright ban on fishing couldn't save our waters.

What a trip 🔥

Why are the fish so big there? Is there no commercial fishery?

[@aneholfelt]

The cod is called “Skrei”. Its a little bit different compared to normal Cod. They arrived the Norwegian coast from the Barent Sea every spring to spawn. Bigger fish, with bigger teath and Munch stronger. Catch Skrei every year past 45 kg. But they are under pressure by global warming and commercial fishing for billions.

[@LinusFro]

Good times!

[@LightspeedTutorials]

Do these fish survive the pressure change? I've heard you cannot C&R in Norway, they have to be kept for food.

[@aneholfelt]

Its up to you. As soon as you see color you stop figthing the fish. Giving it time to release the air for a couple of minutes. It releases a lot of bobles.

[@hardone77ss]

Nice guys 🎉😊👏👏

[@robbieallan6522]

WOW...!! What is it about fish in Norway 🇳🇴?? They're all massive even the coalfish you used as halibut bait in another video looked about 1.5kg , that's insane size bait 😳

[@simonpieman1653]

It's because they dont allow commercial fisherman to wipe everything out

[@sandersson2813]

Fishing is insane in Norway, I've caught over 1000 fish since February.

[@aneholfelt]

For the Big “Queens” we use bait in 3-4 kg size

[@Skrettingvettu]

Hi I have I question. Why do you release the fish like you can get a lot of money selling them.

[@aneholfelt]

Its not all about quick money• We come back next year and catch it again but then its match bigger. And we pay for the trip once more.

[@tonyfox1434]

I have clicked on the links , but what size / model rod and reel please?

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

Hi Tony, reels are Fathom II LD size 15. We have several different Squadron boat rods but if I remember correctly they were 12-20 and 20-30lb.

[@calvinossoman2483]

What reel is he using at 4:00

[@adamcawley1745]

I'm trying to work that out aswell

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

Hi, it's a Penn Fathom II LD, a new reel that is coming out very soon. Check Penn Europe's instagram of facebook for more info.

[@adamcawley1745]

@@OnTheHookFishingTV so I'll be able to get one for Norway July next year

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

@@adamcawley1745 For sure!

[@lewbo6404]

I’d check that guide to see if he’s got a pulse 💀

[@natureisallpowerful]

I've seen him on other videos hes not very enthusiastic like hes been forced into going out😁

[@OnTheHookFishingTV]

It takes a very big fish to get him excited :D
