Much better than being in a full packed train on my way to work.

Does anybody know where is this place?

With this rain, at the moment could be in front of my house.

Nothing like standing in a rowboat and hooking a big one. But, I'm sure they'd only be carp, not a sturgeon or salmon. That would make for an interesting 'oops'.

Very cute! The age range of the three, makes it look a like a 'fun for all ages' activity. Could easily be grandad, father and son.

You know anyone who fishes for carp standing on a boat? Looks to me like they're casting for bass with that weed growth. Largemouths are everywhere in Japan, except for Hokkaido. World record is out of Lake Biwa.

@TrevorPeaceToday: The world record carp weighed over 112lbs. Carp are extremely strong which is why they are used as banners on boy's day. I would prefer to be seated if I hooked a behemoth like that.
