Chasing the dream

Thinking of Tuna and Bonito. Huinamu Fishing Club runs around Sagami Bay.

The Huynem Fishing Club has caught a wide variety of fish species, with black bass at the top of the list. It is full of romance to interact with fish living in a different world underwater, making full use of lures and bait. Any kind of fishing is fun, but this time we went to Sagami Bay in pursuit of even more dreams. I was aiming to catch tuna and bonito, which are familiar fish on the dinner table and the object of angler's admiration! I was excited to catch a big one, and the fishing trip began.

The opportunity came suddenly!

After that, we continue to move from point to point, chasing schools of tuna and bonito. It is like looking for metal slime in Dracula. After a few tosses and repeated moves, a surprised voice exclaimed, "Here it comes! I hear a voice shouting in surprise, "It's here! When I turned my head in that direction, I saw Ishii's rod bobbing wildly!

Tuna? Is it skipjack? A long-sought-after hit that made everyone's hearts pound. As expected of the manager of the Huinamu Fishing Club! Ishii, who has been catching fish on most of his fishing trips, never thought he would catch tuna as well. Tonight we are going to have a tuna party! Just when I was thinking that, I was caught out. ...... Oh, that was so close!

Ishii: The impact was like being hit by a car. It was so much heavier than anything I had ever experienced before. It reminded me of being pulled by my friend's golden retriever when I was in elementary school. Anyway, I was so tempered that I couldn't put the rod down to regain my strength once. I had heard that tuna have hard mouths and are hard to hook, so you have to keep the rod up. ...... I panicked and put the rod up, but it came off. Really, the fish you let go is a big one. I'm going to be depressed for a while.

Apparently, he got a hit when he was in a daze. This is a problem because you can catch fish when you are not greedy and are not thinking about anything. We were all very disappointed, but we were all very excited to get our first hit. With so little time left, we wanted to catch as many fish as we could.

While the afterglow of Ishii's hit was still lingering, Mr. Tanaka of Daiwa's PR department was next to get a hit! However, he too was exposed again. ...... But there is still a chance. Everyone is giving their all with their last hope.
