Shimano: 2022 OCEA×GT (福井健三郎に密着)

 The media I chose today was on fishing in Japan. Specifically for Giant Trevally which go by many names, GT, Rouninaji(浪人鰺) in Japanese, and Ulua as I commonly know them in Hawaii. This has been my dream fish to catch back home, which lead me to choose this video. To include that the video is sponsored by the Japanese fishing gear company Shimano that I am quite the fan of and have many of their products myself. The video itself is of Kenzaburo Fukui, a captain and angler who has caught many  GTs. As the captain of a fishing cruise ship specializing in GT, He spends his days running  around the sea area from Amami Oshima to the Tokara Islands, and the mission entrusted by Shimano is the actual fishing test of the newly added Stradic SW14000XG. I found it interesting that not only where some of Fukui's fishing tactics different from mine, but I could make out some words and phrases throughout the video. Overall my it made me see that fishing is an integral part of the Japanese culture and will continue to be for a long time.
