HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB's first battle. We went to Kameyama Dam to catch lunker size black bass!

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB" is newly established as the next community after "HOUYHNHNM Running Club♡"! When we talked to various people, they told us that they had fished several times in their childhood and remembered the fun and excitement of catching fish, but had not done so since they became adults. I am sure anglers can relate to this, but there are so many attractions to fishing that get you hooked, and you enjoy it even more than when you were a child. In order to experience this firsthand, we, almost amateurs, actually went fishing. There are various types of fishing, such as ocean fishing and mountain stream fishing, but we started with bass fishing, which has a high affinity with fashion. How did the first battle of the "HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB" turn out?

I wanted to fish, not just "have fun and feel good." I wanted to fish.

Mr. Fishhead enjoys fishing with turtles. How is the catch? He was a little nervous because he couldn't catch any bass. But I'll definitely catch one next time!

Komatsu: Thanks everyone for your hard work! The fishing was a bowfishing ....... But the people around me weren't catching any fish either, so I'll just call it practice for today (laughs).

Ichikawa:The water was a little muddy due to the continuous rain, the water temperature had dropped due to the sudden cool down, and there were more prespawn (pre-spawning black bass) than expected, so the fish were not biting. However, I know at the core of my heart that the main cause of the situation was that I could not decide on a certain way of fishing and stick to it. Yes, I am sorry.

Matsushita:Well, but it had been a long time since I had fished for black bass from a boat, so first of all, just getting in the boat and moving around was fun (laughs).

Ikemoto:The morning was really nice. I wasn't sleepy at all and floating on the lake in the morning is a luxurious use of time. I think you have to be a fisherman to understand how good it feels.

Ishii:Sure, it was nice to float on the lake, because it was so extraordinary. No man-made objects in sight. And didn't time pass quickly? We got on the boat early in the morning, and the next thing we knew, it was past noon. I was surprised to see how late it was. I was surprised. I might have concentrated more than at work. ......

Matsushita:I was on the boat for about 10 hours and never got bored. I think it would be more fun if we could catch fish, but the beauty of fishing is that it can be fun even if you don't catch fish.

Ikemoto:I'm hooked. I can't wait to find out the right way to fish. But I couldn't do it alone. Maybe it was fun because everyone was there.

Ichikawa:However, it is also strange that the broken ribs start hurting as soon as I get out of the boat, although I am so absorbed in fishing that I don't notice it. I realized that the human body is made for convenience.

All:(Laughter)

Matsushita:Today has rekindled my desire to fish for bass. When I get home, I will watch fishing channels on YouTube and relearn.

Ishii:That's right. It is not easy to catch fish just by hanging down a rod. You need knowledge and experience. I didn't catch any fish, but I think I have done my homework for the next time. If I don't do better, I'll become a negative commentator on fishing (laughs). I have to study. I thought I would be satisfied even if I didn't catch any fish because just being in nature is so nice, but when I tried fishing, I found that it wasn't enough to satisfy me. I had a few bites, but I was frustrated because I couldn't catch anything.

Ichikawa:Wow, bass fishing is difficult! But it is interesting!

Komatsu:What is the future of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB?

Ishii:Anyway, I would like to go fishing with this club at least once a month. I would like to expand the community by involving various people, and eventually, I would like to connect with readers as well. I hope we can have a tournament or something.
