Jörgen Larsson finally did it. The Swedish angler has been on a lifelong quest to catch a perch over 3 kilograms, or roughly 6.6 pounds, and earlier this month while filming an episode for Westin Fishing, he caught the “perch of his dreams” from a large lake in the Netherlands. In a clip shared to Instagram Wednesday, Larsson can hardly contain his emotions as he holds the massive fish in front of the camera.

“I have been searching for this fish for many years. I have been striking [out], I have been fighting the weather in Holland, I have been doubting,” Larsson says in the short clip. “But now, finally … finally, she’s in the boat.”
