Fishing is one of our new favorite things to do in Kiyosato...
The stock pool - In full disclosure we are not among the world's best fishermen, we are simply among the best at purchasing live fish that must be removed from their display with fishing poles.
Kinoto demonstrates the fastest way to remove a hook so as little time is wasted out of the water as possible
Yoshiko-san commented that it is funny to watch us compared to the groups around us - most people are leisurely fishing with their small children, happy to catch a few fish...we look like crazed maniacs trying to catch as many fish as possible as fast as possible.

Aya's got one, so the pit crew takes over with me netting the fish, and then passing it to Kinoto to get the hook out. Japan does everything efficiently son.
Counting our score to make sure we have enough for dinner
The final haul. 21 rainbows we caught + 3 mountain trout that another family gave us (I think they could see the hunger in our eyes)
The mountain trout were a bit bigger than the rainbows
about 1/2 of our fish prepped for grilling. We had to eat these so we could use the skewers for the other fish
Campai. Miyamoto-san and Miyakoda-san prepare for the feast
mmmm beer and grilled vegetables
The reserves
"To be the man you got to beat the man! Whooooooooooooooo!!!" (or something like that I really do not understand Japanese that well)
Thank you for sacrificing yourself for such a delicious dinner!
