The sea breams we ate
the other day were really good.

It's always delicious,
no matter how many times you eat it.

Let's go fish again, Hana!

- I'm looking forward to it.
- Ah, Mr. Fujishiro!

Let's meet at 6:00 a.m. this Sunday!

I heard Mr. Fujishiro bought a new car.

With just the money from
his part-time job here?

Who knows? Mr. Fujishiro is
a mysterious person, isn't he?

The other day he was polishing
an expensive-looking fishing pole.

Well, I saw him watching
how to raise koi fish.

He has 10 bolts in his body, right?

He also has a scar on his chest.

Rumor has it that he can fly a helicopter.

I heard he has a heliport at his house.

And a championship belt.

What kind of champion?

And what kind of mansion has a heliport?

I really wonder who Mr. Fujishiro is.

His name is Tsunehiro Sasaki, 22 years old.

He is a young man living
in the big city of Tokyo.

He is a beginner angler
who just recently started fishing.

This time, Sasaki is going to fish for...

Where are you going with
Mr. Fujishiro on Sunday, Hana?

To a fishing facility.

Oh, I want to go there, too!

I'd love to go too, but I have work.

Hey, Tsunehiro, let's go too.
Let's go fishing for sardinella!

What? Sardinella?

Episode 6

This Program Is a Work of Fiction.
Do Not Fish in Restricted Areas.
Please Mind the Rules and Etiquette When You Go Fishing.

The starting point of fishing.

Sardinella

It is the time

when you decide what fish
you want to catch.

Sardinella's Characteristic

Sardinellas are commonly caught on breakwaters

and are about 12 cm in length.

A big sardinella can be as big as 20 cm.

20 cm...

So small.

Hiro, you seem to be dissatisfied.

That's because I bought a reel
and a rod the other day,

and I want to catch a big fish.

You know, there was a TV show on TV yesterday.

Oh, you mean 'Fish Dreamer,' right?

\h\h\hTokyo Bay Boat Seabass Challenge\h\h\h

Tokyo Bay Boat Seabass Challenge.

\h\h\hControl Your Lure and Have A Great Time Catching Fish!\h\h\h
\h\h\hTokyo Bay Seabass Game\h\h\h

Caught one! Fish!

It's always nice when you can
catch a big fish in the morning!

\h\h\hControl Your Lure and Have A Great Time Catching Fish!\h\h\h
\h\h\hTokyo Bay Seabass Game\h\h\h

I want to catch a big fish like that.

No, you're too influenced by the show.

Hey, Takaaki.

Hmm?

How do you catch sardinellas?

Well, I guess you catch them
with sabiki fishing.

They are usually caught together
with horse mackerels.

It might be difficult to catch only sardinellas.

It sounds interesting.
Like a 'sardinella gacha.'

Oh, I like that!

Sardinella gacha!

I'll do my best to catch it!

- You have a strong pull,
- Catching sardinella with sabiki, huh?

- so you'll catch it right away!
- Catching sardinella with sabiki, huh?

The morning comes early for anglers.

Beginners like Sasaki often have
a hard time keeping up with

the habit of anglers who start their
activities early in the morning,

sometimes even before the sun rises.

But he seems to be getting used to it now.

Alright, who wants to ride
in Mr. Fujishiro's new car?

Me!

Me.

No, you're the driver.

Huh? But I want to ride too...

Okay! Whoever loses in rock-paper-scissors
must get in Takaaki's car!

You're making my car a punishment game?!

Start with rock!

Paper, rock, scissors!

Scissors!

- I mean, don't I have to take the car out today?
- Scissors!

A camping car?!

Is everyone here?
All right, let's go.

Huh?

A camping car is indeed a champion.

What kind of champion is that?

I would have loved
to ride in a camping car.

If you don't like it, get out.

I didn't say that.

But why do we fish sardinella?

What are we going to do with them?
They're small fish.

We'll eat them.

Eat them? In this season,
sardinellas are sea bass...

Umm, what do you call it again?
Something related to feed.

Bait?

Yes, bait.

He wanted to use the term
he had learned immediately.

This is also a lovable trait of beginners.

Isn't it more fun to catch
a big fish than to use bait?

It just feels that way because it's called bait.

Sardinella is just sardinella.
They are tasty and fun to catch.

Shokoku Fishing Pier
Parking Fee Information: 250 Yen for 3 Hours.

Alright, you're free to do whatever
you want from here.

Later, then.

He's too free...

Listen, you need to put
this bait in the basket.

Okay.

Has Mr. Fujishiro always been like that before?

Huh?

Well, yeah. He's a mysterious person.

Rumor has it that he graduated from
a very prestigious university.

Then why does he work
at our convenience store?

Who knows? According to the manager,
he doesn't have a reason to reject him.

Well, maybe he's here because there are
a lot of people who like fishing.

There are all kinds of people at
our convenience store, aren't there?

You think so?

Well, I used to be a host too.

What?

Huh? I haven't told you guys?

While going to school?

Well, yeah.

I was popular in college, you see?

That's why I wanted to see

how well my handsomeness
would do here in Tokyo.

Heh.

Hey, what are you laughing at?
I used to be number one, you know?

I'm special!

That's different from the "only one."

Wow. What kind of professional
name did you have?

Well, it's written "The Man of the Sea."

Oh, "fisherman!"

It's "Kaito!"

Why did you quit being a host?

Huh?

Well, it's because I got bored.

For me, the number one!

Hee...

So you were a host, Takaaki.

At 9:00 a.m.,

the preparation to catch
sardinella is all set!

Sabiki fishing with ground bait involves
attaching a basket of ground bait

at the top or bottom of the hook

and sinking the pseudo-bait hook into the sea.

The bait then drifts through the water,

attracting fish, which mistake the sabiki
for bait and take the bait.

Oh!

I caught one sardinella.

That's not sardinella.

What?

That's a shad.

Shad?

It's hard to tell the difference
between sardinella and shad.

Sardinella

Sardinella

Shad

Shad

This difference can be seen

when they are side by side.

But it's hard to tell when they're apart.

But...

The sardinellas taste better.

The Sardinellas Taste Better

It Is a Personal Opinion

So she says.

I don't think they are much different.

They didn't come...

They didn't come...

Ow!

Chum smells bad and gets on my clothes...

It's kind of lame.

Hey, is it okay to use lures here?

It's okay.

I see.

Ah...

If you want to use lures, I heard that bluefish
have been caught here recently.

Sasaki left the others and started
walking somewhere by himself.

He seemed to be changing his fishing method.

Yeah, like this.

I've always wanted to do
"Fish Dreamer" things like this.

Alright.

This is where Sasaki, a beginner,
really comes into his own.

Aiming for big fish with a lure.

The Shokoku Fishing Pier
is the stage for this event.

Here, anglers can target sea bass
and other migratory bluefish.

He will be targeting big fish,
starting with sardinella.

And now,

let's do fishing, shall we?

Although inexperienced in fishing,
Sasaki will be using first-rate fishing equipment

to try his hand at catching
big fish here in Shokoku!

The depth is about 15 meters...

First of all, let's use a steel-plated
vibration to fish widely.

Sasaki chose a wide-backer metal vibrator.

It is a very appealing and long-casting lure.

Let's ask Sasaki about the lure.

Have You Caught Any Sea Bass with This Lure?

Never. Not even once.

I've never caught sea bass.

Oh, I see.

It's different from usual.
We're in the neighboring prefecture.

"There's no response at all,"
Sasaki said.

"Even if it did, I don't know if it was
a sea bass biting my bait or not,

so I don't feel too frustrated."

'Even inexperience can be turned into a weapon.'

This is the Sasaki way.

Next, Sasaki chose the XJ-22,
a very popular lure.

What Made You Switch to This Lure?

Nothing, it was just my feeling.

Because it is very popular.

"I wanted to experience what happens

when the lure is not tight enough,"
he later recalled.

One cast cost 1,600 yen.

It wasn't expensive

if you consider it a study fee.

How Much Are Your Part-Time Job Wages?

I was paid 1,050 yen per hour.

Sasaki's target was the tide line 70 meters out.

His casting looks as if he has lost his form.

We should be worried about him here.

I was going to catch
the closer fish.

But I was overlooked.

That's what I'm talking about,
the ever-changing beginner's style.

There.
There are a lot of birds over there.

It's a flock of birds.

Usually, many baits gather
under such a flock of birds,

and there are fish-eaters that target them.

But...

Seagulls?

However, for the large-scale
fishermen like Sasaki,

such theories are not a big problem.

It feels like nature.

That's right.

For him, the flock of birds is just there
to heal his tired mind.

He is going to fish with only his arm
against the great nature.

Any Particulars about That Reel and Rod?

Huh? This reel?

I just bought it.

But if I had to say,
it's love at first sight.

Hey, what are you mumbling about?

Tell me earlier if you're here.

They're here.

That's not what I meant...

No, they're here.

Huh?

Flock of birds.
There's a big fish down there.

Is that so?

Well, birds gather there for bait.

What? Really?

Try throwing your rod
at the side of that flock of birds.

Which lure do you recommend?

I think this one.

Here.

Minnow lure, huh?

Why don't you reel it up
with this one?

Okay.

Huh? You're not going to do it?

Well, yeah.
I'm going for sardinella today.

I see.

Be careful with the birds.

It comes!

I-Isn't this one huge?!

Oh, no...

My net...

Really? This is really bad.

S-Someone...

- Look! Hana, look!
- That's a lot of fish.

- This is easy.
- Not bad.

Well, the lure didn't work at all.

Woah, it fights back!

I'll take it off when I'm done over here!
Just give me a minute!

Don't be in a hurry.
Just take them one at a time.

- I need help here, meow!
- Takaaki, please hurry up!

- You're not cute at all!
- Geez, just help me!

- What's wrong with it?!
- Geez, just help me!

- Seriously, you're not cute at all!
- Please hurry!

Here comes the next one!

Wait a minute!
Why do I have to do it all the time?!

Just do it!

- You don't have to tell me!
- Thank you, Takaaki.

You're done?

Yeah, is this enough?

Yeah!

Hiro, why are you just standing there?
We're gonna catch a ton of fish!

Oh, you came at the right time.

That one. Please pull that rod.

Oh...

Come on, don't dawdle!

Let's do this!

Y-Yeah...

We're going to catch a lot of fish.

Catching anchovies is very exciting!

You did it well!

Look at Mr. Fujishiro.

Wow!

He's using the sabiki trick.

As expected of him.
He's very shrewd or deft.

Well, it doesn't have to be sardinella.

Horse mackerel and sardines are
fun to catch and delicious.

Oh, a big catch!

Even if you want to fish,
you can't fish,

and you can't catch the fish you want.

Sometimes things don't go
as planned with nature.

But people still go fishing.

To feel and enjoy the charm of fishing.

Come on, don't stop fishing!
We can catch 50 more fish!

You're so scary, Hana.

Woah, I caught seven fish!

That's great! You hit the jackpot!

43 fish left!

Hana? What's that rule?

Nah, it's totally fine.

See? We can do this!

You can catch it, right?

Sure.

Kozue can do that too.

Yes.

Yeah, she caught a lot.

See?

Alright, let's keep this pace up.

Chum is hard to get off when it dries.

Come to think of it, how was it?

The flock of birds earlier.

I caught a big one,
but it's all in vain.

The bluefish?

I don't know.
I think it was a big one.

Wow, that's great!

But I failed to catch it.

Did you see that?

Let's dig in!

Looks delicious!

- So yummy!
- Now, now.

- I want to eat now!
- It's a feast.

Give me that!

Then, I'll have this.

This is mamakari sushi!

Is it that good?

Delish!

After all, fried horse mackerels
are the best, too!

Sardine sashimi is also delicious!

Tsunehiro did a great job catching sardines!

Why are you blushing, Hiro?

Anchovy is delicious, right?

Catching only for sardinella is very unique.

Do you have any tips?

I mean, is it even possible
to catch only sardinella?

Hmm? I just did my usual method
on the tide and points.

That's all?

It's amazing how you always manage to
catch everything like that, Mr. Fujishiro.

So, it is important to be prepared.

Or rather, to do thorough research,
no matter what you are going to fish.

I mean, it's fun to do
simulations of various things

while researching and preparing.

Simulation...

I can tell! Of course it's great
when you catch a fish,

but even if you don't,
it's fun to think about

how you can catch it next time!

In the end, it doesn't matter if it's a big one
or a small one, as long as you have fun.

A veteran angler laughed as he said so.

That's exactly what I mean.
This pro is saying a really good point!

Wait, this voice...

Mr. Fujishiro, can we talk?

\h\h\hRunning Through the Night in a Big City!\h\h\h
\h\h\hTokyo Bay Black Sea Bream Game\h\h\h

Tokyo Bay fishing is full of elements to capture.

If you search for the answers yourself,

the fish you will catch one day

will look even brighter in your hand.

That's what a rookie angler thinks.
