24-year-old Swedish angler Joel Lagekvist landed the catch of a lifetime recently on Lillsjon Lake in central Sweden.
What started out as a simple cast into the murky water ended up being a tug-of-war with a 500 pound… elk.
The elk was dead at the bottom of the lake, and the lure had been tangled in the antlers.
Lagekvist took an antler as a souvenir and has the story of a lifetime.

I think that I’d rather catch an elk than a fish. Cool.

Elk un Sveden, vy dat is knutz. Of course we call them moose. The other crazy thing, being gored in the groin! Yikes

Must have had some serious heavy line on his reel that day!
