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.

An intense scene arrives.

Before noon, the sky began to clear. As we repeatedly moved from one point to another, we saw the biggest bird pile of the day! A bird mountain is a flock of birds trying to prey on small fish that have surfaced on the surface, chased by larger fish. In other words, toriyama is also a perfect point. Looking around, we saw about 20 boats gathered around. This is a great opportunity!

Ishii: Amazing bird mountain. There must be tuna or bonito for sure. The sea is so vast, yet so many boats are gathered in one place and moving in the same way. I can't help but feel like I'm going to be able to catch something.

Koudai: I am very nervous with the bird mountain in front of me. I could see birds eating small fish, so I guess I can make it.

The air on the boat tightened, and my grip on the rod tightened, but unfortunately, I did not get a hit. It is not so easy, is it? We move to another point. It is the first time to fish, but the team is getting used to handling the rod.

Izawa: I feel like I am one with the sea as the rod is linked to the movement of the tide. I am very immersed. I don't even feel like I'm getting a bite. I want to fish soon!

Inahara: I've gotten better at putting bait on the hook. Now all I have to do is get them to bite. I'd like to catch something, even if it's small.

Pine needles: In my mind, I have an image of a tuna eating koma-sei. I feel like I've caught a fish. All I have to do now is to actually catch the fish somehow.

Koudai: I'm getting used to how to move the rod, but I haven't had a single response yet, so I want to feel the life-like sensation of a fish being hooked. I want to fight with tuna.

Ishii and Komatsu, who had been doing ebbing, numbly shifted to koma-sei. Bring your arrows or guns. Will their persistence to somehow catch fish reach them?
