It almost goes without saying, but Japanese love fish. They love ornamental fish and of course they love to eat fish. They eat just about every kind there is, from jellyfish to whale (neither of which are really fish). Baked, fried, marinated, stewed, pickled, dried and of course raw, fish can be consumed in a startling variety of ways here. So, it is a little disappointing to see the keen angler eager to pit his skills against the natural world to catch his own dinner stuck on the banks of a congested manmade pool with half of Abiko's retirees in attendance.
Speaking of a congested manmade pool, I'm running a half-marathon round the lake near my house on Sunday. You can still sponsor me here. Why should you?

Do you mean they don't only catch whales for scientific purposes?! I'm shocked.
Gulp! The secret's out.
Hmm, I'm not sure what's worse; fishing in a swimming pool or hiding in bushes taking pictures of people fishing in swimming pools......
