Savage Gear 4Play Shad attracts more than it bargained for!

Catching a 30lb pike on any fishing gear would be an event to remember, but imagine catching it on tackle meant for perch. That’s got to be pretty heart-stopping stuff!

But it’s exactly what happened to Mikkel Matzen.

The Savage Gear reports come from all over Europe and Mikkel had this big croc in Jylland, Denmark.

Here’s what the report had to say about this particular capture:

Mikkel Matzen got a little more than he bargained for, when he put on a Savage Gear 4Play Shad the other day and did a few casts for perch.

As the lure fluttered enticingly towards the bottom, the line suddenly stopped. The lure had been engulfed by something big and sinister, and it didn’t take Mikkel long to find out that it was a pike.

What surprised him though was the size of the fish.

A 30 minute long fight ensued, where Mikkel’s Savage Gear Vertical rod, Okuma Citrix Baitcaster reel, the 0,13 HD braid, and the 0.30mm fluorocarbon tippet were tested to the limit.

Amazingly, everything held up – and Mikkel could draw a sigh of relief as the net slid under the fish.

The fish measured 120cm and weighed 14,08 kilos (31 pounds), and after a quick photo session, the massive predator was released back into the cold fall water!”
