Among them, the fish caught in Nemuro are said to be the most talked about at this time of year, as their bodies are dyed redder than anywhere else. Apparently, their flashy appearance is so striking that a guide described them as “looking like a flamenco dancer.”

I immediately set the hook with force, and a heavy, responsive bite fell on the rod. What came up was a parade of good-sized fish, each around 50 cm long.
