The NSFL Classic tournament has come to a thrilling close, leaving participants and spectators buzzing with excitement. The event was marked by fantastic results, great catches, and a number of heart-pounding moments as big fish eluded capture.
Highlights of the Tournament:
Juris Zelickis from the LJPro fishing team kickstarted the leaderboard with an impressive 90cm pike. Shortly thereafter, the competition heated up with the first 1m+ pike being caught by Christian Sletmo of Team Takkel Daiwa, measuring a staggering 112cm.
The excitement continued to build as Kjell-Remi Westlie reeled in a 113cm pike, setting the tone for an electrifying start to the tournament.
Throughout the morning, pikes were being recorded at a remarkable rate of every 6-8 minutes. However, after lunch, the sun's full emergence led the fish to seek shelter, challenging participants to adapt to the changing conditions. Despite the stress and a few big ones getting away, the spirit of the tournament remained high.
In total, an impressive 13 pikes over 1 meter in length were caught. For a detailed breakdown of the statistics, visit the NSFL Classic tournament results.
