Big Game Fishing in Jezera experienced its 20th-anniversary edition in 2018. Larger and powerful ships are needed for this kind of fishing. The first phase of fishing is drifting, ie thrown hundreds of pounds of bait, waiting for the fish to appear, and the second phase is trolling (pulling the hook) until the fish bites. Only the most patient and ready to succeed ones will catch the fish in the end. A few will satiate from the fish caught, most of the fish are returning back to the sea after a crew takes a photo with the biggest ones. The largest fish caught in the Adriatic Sea weighed over 300 kilograms, and the fight to catch it lasted for hours. For passionate fishermen, this is a struggle they desire of and the reason for sailing into the uncertainty among the blue waves of the Adriatic. Calm sea to you all!
