The best part about this article is we get to see how all the rest of the world fishes when they’re trying to put food on the table and money in the bank. Like this guy who is… floating on an inner tube and waving a couple of sticks around?
This picture comes to us from North Korea, and he’s actually fishing on a truck tire, just floating around and gathering up some food. And then, once he’s done fishing, he can ride the tire all the way home on the road.
Fishing? We Guess?
This picture was taken in Myanmar, where we're sure a lot of fishing is done. How exactly it's being done, on the other hand, is a mystery that we may never answer. That guy looks like he's pulling off some kind of circus act with a huge cage in one hand and a long pole in the other.
Is he mugging for the camera or just trying to catch something to eat? Pole, net, big conical cage while standing on one foot – it doesn't matter. As long as you catch something, it doesn't matter how you do it.
I Am the Fish Man
It kind of seems like this is from when a man and a fish get caught in a pair of transporters, resulting in a gruesome fish/man hybrid. In reality, it's simply good timing, as this guy was swinging a fish around on a pole.
It looks a little bit like he has a trunk coming out of his face the way that the fish is positioned. The fins from underneath look just like eyes, and there's no neck showing. Are we sure that this isn't actually an elephant/fish/person that is on this boat? Are we really sure?
Jeepers Creepers, Look at Those Peepers
Where did he get those fishy peepers? He looks like the kind of guy that could catch them himself, which has the added bonus of making him the kind of person that would be willing to hold up a pair of fish and press them against his eyes.
Even if fish are just part of the natural world, it still seems like they wouldn't be all that clean. Is he worried about parasites or creepy crawlies at all? Since he's willing to give you the eye in this picture, it's clear that he isn't worried enough to care.
Just Because I Caught the Thing Doesn't Mean I Want to Touch It
So this young man went fishing for what is likely the first time – and if not that, then one of the first times – and he caught a pretty respectable fish. However, we know that he wasn't the kind of guy to spend a lot of time at the water's edge, since he was a little too squeamish to actually touch the fish himself.
A friend's hand is actually holding it, but the guy who caught it is pretending to hold it with a bit of hand-over-hand trickery.
