...because we don't buy enough Calfishing t-shirts?;)

When I first read the subject line I thought you were talking about "Swimbait" proper. :+

Crazy Swedes. I wonder what kind of fish that was.

I have a feeling Pike... Check out this site, this guy has emailed me in the past about some of the big baits. He has a ton of pike tackle and some cool pics.

I paused it, and one freeze frame it clearly looks like a musky. Could be a pike too I suppose!

Since it seems to be in Swedish or German, it's a safe bet that the Super predator is a pike. Musky are native only to North America (East of the Rockies) and haven't been widely transplanted elsewhere. Many Pike don't have the classic chain-link look especially when they come from Eutrophic (fertile, shallow, sand/mud bottomed w/ med-low clarity)lakes, which the water shown looked like.
Tight lines,

I thin kthey have Pike over there too but a different species. I translated some of it and the tackle shop said their stuff is for pike. When I was there my buddies told me they have pike in the lakes, but I think they are different species than ours

I'm guessing by your reply that I didn't make it clear what I was saying. So....
You're correct. They do have Pike and it's the same species but a different sub-species (actually 2or3 sub-species -depnding on who you read). They don't have Musky unless someone sent them some from North America.
Tight lines,
Wade
