The battle between men across media boundaries finally begins!

We have been planning this event since last year, and it finally took place! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB, whose theme is "fun, fun, fun, chill out," has been active for two full years this April. We have tried our hand at wakasagi and sea bass, but we have always been in pursuit of bass. The members of the club, who were amateurs at the time, had become proficient at casting, and in a mistaken and reckless decision, they challenged the GO OUT Fishing Club, which catches a variety of species of fish every month, to a competition.

Here are the participating members of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB and GO OUT FISHING CLUB, and the rules for this showdown.

Deputy Editor, HOUYHNHNM

Director of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB. The GO OUT Fishing Club is a senior member of the media fishing team, so I will be taking on this challenge with the intention of borrowing from their chests. This is my first attempt at sea bass jigging. When I tried boat sea bass fishing with HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB before, I didn't catch any fish, so this time I'm going to catch some! But, well, I'll take it at my own pace, at my own pace.

His love of fishing has even led him to collaborate with a fishing manufacturer on a "Flagstaff" product. I haven't been able to go bass fishing yet this year, but three days ago I went boat fishing in the ocean and caught about 10 sweet sea bream. I've done super light jigging a few times, but this is my first time targeting sea bass. I don't want to lose to anyone."

Directs the Lake Tama Fishing Area, a managed fishing area where you can catch freshwater fish such as rainbow trout and iwana. He says, "I fish the ocean, rivers, and lakes, using both bait and artificial bait, and anything else I can think of. I don't compete with others in fishing, so my rival is sea bass. I hope the result will have a positive impact on the showdown.

I used to write a blog on HOUYHNHNM's, so I want to enjoy our exchange after a long time. I was looking forward to this project because it is rare to have a project that straddles media. I hope I can help boost the fashion industry through fishing.
