These are some big catches, nice work. I haven't yet tackled the Boss Fish on Jezioro Bestii. Any tips on the best spots to catch Laszlo?
Nice catches, pretty sure I've had a monster hooked earlier but the fish swam behind on of the islands after 7 or 8 minutes. It was not even close to tired. Even though I did not catch it, here is a tip. Don't try to ware it out at the start, you will need 100% hook strength to deal with the occasional/frequent "hook strained". I always used the Sonik Vader XRS rod and even caught big catfish with it on Ebro but on the Polish lake it seems the Free Spirit - Bank Cat S is more effective. Not sure what works best on these monsters reel-wise, trying out BP10, Scope GT 4000 and Sonik Xtractor 5000. Please let me know if I'm missing something else. I want to add something about fishing with the Free Spirit - Bank Cat S rod. Even though it seems better on these monster fish, dovetail reports data, it's description in-game, "world record fish". => when you hook a 5kg (12-14lbs?) eel or small to average pike, you will have a harder time then with the Sonik Vader XRS.
Caught at Pearl lake, the largest of fish I had caught before this was 51lb so this was definitely a shock
