Bet on the Biggest Fish Ever Caught in Sweden

Sweden is considered one of the best destinations in Europe for recreational angling. Every year anglers try to set a new record for the biggest fish ever caught in Sweden. If you like fishing, you can bet on the biggest pike and perch to be caught before August 31.

In recent decades, both pike and perch have grown to be the most popular targets of all the species available in Swedish waters. Pike and perch can be found in all different lakes, especially in the two largest ones Vanern and Vattern. Most of the Swedish records for pike, salmon, zander, char, and perch came from these deep, dark cold waters.

Every summer approximately two million Swedes engage in recreational fishing. They try to beat the record for the biggest fish ever caught in Sweden. Online sportsbooks in Sweden expect pike and perch to be among the popular targets, this summer.

Johansson caught a 21.7 kg pike in 2016

In 2016, Fredrik Johansson has smashed the existing Swedish record by landing a 21.7 kg pike. According to online sportsbook news in Sweden, it took 17 years for the record to be broken. Johansson put an end to the 1999 record on the great lake Vattern near Askersund. He caught a 128-centimeter pike before releasing it back into the clear water. With the increasing number of skilled anglers, someone will likely beat the 2016 record. If you think that will likely happen this summer, you can place a bet at 1xBET Sportsbook with 21 odds.

The record of 3,15 kg perch caught in 1985 yet to be broken

One of the biggest perches in the world was also caught in 2016 in Sweden. Jorgen Larsson and Dejan Milosevic did a session for big perch. They went on fishing around midnight. After long hours of waiting, Dejan suddenly hooked a huge perch. The fish was 53 cm and absolutely massive. It measured 3.01 kilos. They almost exceeded the record for the biggest fish ever caught in Sweden, which is a 3,15 kg perch caught in 1985.
