Vision Team
The Big Fish point being very complicated to get on this second day, Niklaus Bauer and Markus Tandefelt will start with the search for the number, especially since the number point is virtually held by the Headbanger Lures team with only 6 fish. Unfortunately, this quest for the number of fish at the edge of the water was unsuccessful. The duo therefore reverted to their initial strategy: the Top 5. Markus Tandefelt validates the 3rd fish of the duo with an 81 cm and then it's Niklaus Bauer's turn with a nice 94 cm!
Team XL-Marin/Mercury
After a single fish validated at 77 cm in the morning, Pasi Tapponen validates a second fish of 79 cm just after the postponement then the calm returns... The team will finish the day with 4 fish. A result well below its expectations.
Jiggar.nu Team
Jakob Hank starts this 4 ème episode with a nice fish of 90 cm and Björn Boström follows with a 93, validating at the same time the 4 ème top 5 fish for the team. Jakob Hank dries the 5th Top 5 fish, a 91 cm pike, then consolidates it with an 83. The team is clearly in the running for the Top 5 point and the number.
Headbanger Lures Team
Markus Teilus and Emanuel Swärd hold virtually 2 of the 3 points awarded for this 2 ème day of competition, those of the number and the Top 5, and starts this 4th ème episode by catching a mesh fish to improve their Top 5. Unfortunately, the duo will not be able to capitalize on their excellent morning and will not be credited with any points at the end of this 2nd day. A pity.
Team Leech/Gator
Thanks to Alexander Lexén's huge fish, the Leech/Gator team has taken a serious option on the Big Fish point! A fish that also represents a very solid base for the Top 5 point. Alexander Lexén repeats with a second fish of 1 meter and a third of 88 cm. Markus Maliszewski completes the Top 5 of the team on the last spot of the day with a pike of 102 cm. A 7th fish for the team which allows him to come back on equal footing with the Daiwa, Jiggar.nu and Headbanger teams on the number point, in addition to taking the points of the Big Fish and the Top 5! Except that Daiwa will make an 8ème fishâeuros¦
Raymarine/Daiwa Team
Torbjörn "Buster" Odén and Pär Lindberg logically remain focused on their first objective: to aim for the number and the Top 5. Torbjörn Odén made a series of failed hits while Pär Lindberg validated his first fish and then made a series of catches. Important "clickers" but nothing mesh to complete the Top 5 of the team then comes the last and 8th fish of the team at the end of the day. The small fish that brings the team a lot of money since it allows them to get the point of the number!
CWC Team
For the duo targeting the big fish, this 4 ème he episode started as the previous one ended: in pain. No fish on board until Pierre Monjarret finally recorded a touch and caught a first nice fish of 93 cm. But faced with the inactivity of the fish and their meager chances of collecting any points for this second day of competition, Pierre Monjarret and Trumman decided to shorten the day to head for the next day's spot.
Team Sporting
Stephan Nielsen and Rikard Bergström had a tough competition until then, with the counter at 0 at the end of the 3rd episode. Rikard Bergström finally managed to beat the odds with a first fish, and a mesh one at that. The team finished the day with 5 fish, which is not so bad considering the number point collected with only 8 fish.
Review of the points
This second day can be summed up by the almost Hold-Up of Leech/Gator who, in addition to having marked the history of Fly Vs Jerk with their 1.26 m fish, could pocket all the points of the day with one more clicker!... The duo did not miss out on a hat-trick but had to be content with the Big Fish and the Top 5 points.
The Daiwa team got the point of the number thanks to a modest pike at the end of the day.
With the CWC and Leech/Gator teams credited with 2 points each, the 3 ème and last day of competition looks like it's going to be a great one. Let's go to the river!
