Amateur Anglers’ Misadventures along the Itadori River

While Hiromi and I were exploring new fishing spots along and around the Itadori River last Sunday, I felt inspired to create another video documenting our fishing adventures.

However, simply watching us fish would be quite mundane, so I’ll spare you the monotony and refrain from showcasing that aspect.

Instead, I had a different idea after reviewing the footage from our initial river fishing expedition at the Itadori River. The camera caught us in our amateur attempt to buy fish bait the night before and struggling to bait the hook the next morning when we went fishing.

You won’t believe how clueless we were, so I thought, why not share it with you all for some entertainment?

Stay tuned for this week’s video and get ready for a good laugh as you witness our embarrassingly clumsy moments.
