Team Extreme in Bornholm 2014: Shark Tournament Spoons


Oh so close!  Ove Johansson, Andres Johansson, and Dan Alpsten, otherwise known as Team Extreme from Sweden were riding high in 13th place on the scoreboard after day 3, in a field of 336 Viking fishermen. The bite dropped off in the last day, and so did the hopes of Team Extreme. 35 is a very respectable finish in such a big competition.  We are grateful Team Extreme had the confidence to use Shark Cannonballs and Shark Tournament Spoons during the competition.  We are really glad the Shark combination worked so well, and Team Extreme caught lots of big salmon.

 Hi Ed,
We had tough times during the TMB 2014!
The Baltic Sea is not an easy fishing place.  We found big fish on training day, (two fish over 30 lbs!) but when the competition began they were gone.  We struggled to find them, but no success this year!  We had great fishing with Shark Cannonballs and Shark Spoons.  Especially the watermelon glow spoon fishing right behind the Chrome Shark at 35 -55 ft depth!  Anders and Dan want to go to TMB 2015

 Best Regards
Ove and the team

Jeff Hynes Shark Pro Staff has declared: " I will not fish with round cannonballs." Same thing 40,000 other guys are saying. Jeff is leading the charge getting the message out to guides on the west coast. "Yeah I’m fish out of water right now, no shark cannonballs... no fishing.... I will not go out with round cannonballs! We fish on ledges all around here trying to find fish and right on bottom. Like fishing 200 feet deep in 210 feet of water.... bottom bouncing pretty much. Ledges drop or rise 20-40 feet difference, hence why I’m snagging up... I fishing 90 percent by my self so as soon as I walk away from the wheel... boat goes one way and then I’m bottom bouncing with cannonballs!!"

I take back all that stuff I said about Chrysler in my earlier blog; all that stuff about putting that gas line filter behind the gas tank so I couldn't get at it to change it. This car saved my life. I was driving back from my chainsaw shop, Penner's Farm Equipment in Tara, Ontario with my brand new Husqueverna 640 chainsaw (sweet) The old Husky my neighbour gave to me finally died; it was thirty years old. A silver truck suddenly appeared right in front of me; he ran through the stop sign without stopping. I didn't have time to say what was on my mind, h#*y ! #*!#k! but for sure I was thinking it at precisely that moment. I was traveling along at 50 miles per hour (80 k/ph). I didn't have the benefit of loosing consciousnesses during the impact, it would have been nice. I was totally aware during the whole thing, all I can say it was gruesome. I survived, the two nice people in the other car survived. I am battered and bruised and glad to be alive; Thank ...

I got an email from a friend fishing the 2009 Masters Trolling Tournament in Denmark. In the email he states he was watching fish come right up to the Sapphire Shark a number of times and then swim off. This burns me up to no end when I hear this; I have been telling guys for five years when they see this happening, it is time to switch to the Black Sharks. If you are using Black Sharks and the fish are swimming off, switch to the Chromes or the Sapphires. The sound generated from the all the Sharks is exactly the same; the bigger Sharks amplify the sound over a greater distance as they displace more water. Curious fish hear the sound and come to the ball from great distances, what they do when they get there depends entirely what kind of mood they are in. If the fish are feeling aggressive while you are using Chrome Sharks they will become even more stimulated and will hit anything running behind it. If they are feeling a little spooky, the Chrome might be a little too much for them t...
