Giant salmon caught 2008 from Rügen, Germany.

"WAHNSINN, UNSERE KUNDEN UND FREUNDE THOMAS ALLENSTEIN UND KNUT POSCHMANN FINGEN AM 09.04.2008 DIESEN REKORDLACHS MIT
22,4 KG UND 1,30 M VOR RÜGEN!"

Look at this salmon caught by fellow two German fisherman in 2008 from Rügen, Germany. The fish was caught with Vuoksiraksi baithead with an unknown bait tackled to it. The salmon weighed 22.4kg and was 1.30m long! A fish to be remembered.

Late congratulatios to the fisherman. These German fishermen will be rewarded by Vuoksivieheet for this catch.

Season has started late in Rügen, three months delayed! Salmon is at those waters now, so it will take some time before they reach Swedish costal waters moving further north to their spawningrivers. I have booked accomodation on Hasslö, Karlskrona week 19, and hopefully the big forerunners are there at that time. We will be some boats fishing there. I will fish with Bert Lachner and he has experience from fishing those waters, with many nice salmon logged on him. Looking good!

Thanks to Sven Hille for the information about the giant salmon. Never to late to report a nice catch.
