Japanese micro fishing! 【TANAGO FISHING】 The daily life of Japanese anglers.

[@TheFishingNomad]

Great video. I love this kind of fishing.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you. Although my videos are not flashy, I want to convey the peaceful atmosphere of fishing.

[@michaelsmith7193]

I enjoy the peace and beauty of your videos. Thank you for sharing these!

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you very much. The concept of my channel is very simple. When fishing, don't compete, don't rush, just be quiet. I want to share this peaceful time with many people.

[@bryceanderson4864]

When I can't go fishing myself, I'll go watch your channel.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you very much. I am very happy for your positive actions and comments. Please continue to come to my channel.

[@Princeps7289]

Thank you for the relaxing video. I am unable to be in nature today, so this video is just what I needed.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

thanks you. I would be very happy if the leisurely fishing scenes and Japanese scenery helped you relax.

[@beardedrockling]

love it!

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you so much!

[@gustavococonier58]

It's Haiku fishing...so delicate and beauty......

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you. I feel a story in the time I spend fishing. The seasons, the scenery, the sound of the wind, the birds and insects. I would be happy if you could feel that kind of Japanese time.

Ichthyology nerd here, the "tanago" fish are called bitterling in english theyres around 40 species all native to asia with the european bitterling (rhodeus amarus) also beeing found in europe they where set out theyre a long time ago by humans originating from asia which is ironic given the name.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

I respect your extensive knowledge of fish. I only recently learned that tanago fish are called "betterlings." Please forgive my poor English. As you say, it is unfortunate that ecosystems are being lost all over the world by humans. The number of native species of tanago fish in Japan has also decreased, and most of the tanago fish currently being fished are native to mainland China and its neighboring countries. It is truly unfortunate.

[@fallows4life]

@@TAKA_ojfc it really is, but by making videos of them and showing people how cool they are you are an active part of conservation. I also speak very bad english myself i just wanted to add this.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@fallows4life Thank you so much. Your words are very encouraging and I'm happy.

[@metalhorgasz]

Awesome! That's new info for me. Imagine that in our country (central europe) the european bitterling is considered a protected native species, even protected by fine. In what historic era do you think the introduction of the species to europe happen?

[@fallows4life]

@@metalhorgasz ok I did do some research I was wrong european bitterling is actually native, I learned it otherwise. I'm sorry for misinformation.

[@stephenjackson1828]

Very nice video! 👍

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you! I will continue to make many videos so that people can learn about fishing in Japan.😊

[@MancingTanago]

Rosy Bitterling is my favorite tanago fish and you are a professional videographer. Thank you for making very interesting content about Tanago. Success always. From Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you so much, my friend in Yogyakarta. You are a very studious and knowledgeable person who knows about rose bitterling. I also wish you success and good health.

[@MancingTanago]

@@TAKA_ojfc In Indonesia, micro fishing / Tanago activity is called Waderan. Micro fish are also diverse such as Rasbora argyrotaenia, Puntius binitatus, Nemacheilus fasciatus and others. I also really like doing Micro Fishing activities aka Tanago Fishing aka Waderan. Thank you.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@MancingTanago This is the first time I've heard the word "Waderan." Thank you for letting me know. I think it's wonderful to be able to gain so much knowledge from people all over the world. Please continue to teach me about Indonesia.

[@MancingTanago]

@@TAKA_ojfc I am very interested in everything related to Micro Fishing aka Tanago aka Waderan 😊✌

[@djayafishing]

Tempat mancing yang bagus, ikan kecil saya biasa mancing juga,saya ingin berteman dan sharing dengan anda. Salam microfishing

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Terima kasih. Ada banyak tempat memancing yang bagus untuk microfishing di Jepang. Saya senang bisa berinteraksi dengan banyak orang dari berbagai negara melalui kegiatan memancing.

[@gregchilders7643]

I watched a documentary on this type of fishing years ago . Fishing is fun no matter what size of fish each of us pursue

[@TAKA_ojfc]

I think so. Each person has a different way of enjoying fishing. One of the ways to enjoy it is to catch big fish and lots of fish. However, in addition to the result of catching fish, there is also a way to enjoy the season, the atmosphere, and sometimes catching small fish. I love this little fishing spot that is full of memories with my grandfather and father.

[@RybalochkaMoya]

Здравствуйте! Я очень люблю смотреть ваши видео и я тоже люблю рыбачить стилем танаго, я сам из России но у нас тоже есть очень маленькие рыбы такие как: Phoxinus phoxinus, Rhodeus sericeus и Alburnoides bipunctatus. Желаю удачи вам! Москва. Российская Федерация.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Привет. Добро пожаловать на мой канал. Я рад, что японский стиль рыбалки нравится во всем мире. Я надеюсь, что все люди во всем мире смогут мирно провести время, как это видео.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Don't forget your spectacles. 😂 The tank full was cool though.

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you. I'll make sure to bring my glasses so I don't have to worry about not catching anything with a rig that doesn't have a hook.😂

[@aaronrhoades509]

Cool👍⭐🇨🇱

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Thank you so much. I'm very happy.

[@kenttod8262]

micro fishing, mancing ikan beunter / seluang / uceng / lunjar / cakul / wader / .. i also like micro stream fishing , it's bite faster and fun

[@TAKA_ojfc]

That's right! Playing by the water is a lot of fun. I think micro fishing is especially fun because it's easy and you can catch some rare fish.

[@ExtremeCanDyland]

I also enjoy this kind of fishing! What bait do you use if it’s not a secret? I would also like to know how you know when to set the hook?

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Of course I will teach you. In Japan, there is a bait for micro fishing. I use a bait called "Tanago Gluten". Some anglers make bait by mixing flour with egg yolk. I couldn't understand the second question very well with my English skills. If I understand correctly, setting the hook is when you make the rig. Not after you arrive at the fishing spot.

[@ExtremeCanDyland]

@@TAKA_ojfc Thank you very much! In my second question I meant : When the fish bites the hook , when do you pull the rod and how long do you wait to pull the rod?

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@ExtremeCanDyland I see, I understand your question. You raise the rod the moment the fish bites the hook, but the timing depends very much on the balance between the size of the bait and the size of the fish. Ideally, you should attach bait that is small enough for the fish to eat in one bite, and raise the rod at the first bite. However, if the bait is too big, the hook won't fit into the fish's mouth and it won't hook on the first bite. Therefore, if the bait is too big, you can make it smaller by putting it in the water and pulling it up. That's why I sometimes make the motion of raising the rod. If my answer is insufficient, please ask again.

[@ExtremeCanDyland]

@@TAKA_ojfc Thank you so much! That clears everything up. It’s nice to see someone so interactive with their viewers!

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@ExtremeCanDyland Thank you. I'd like to enjoy this kind of interaction with fellow anglers from all over the world, not just as a viewer of videos.

[@richardwarfield7386]

I already ultralight fish - I would like this too

[@TAKA_ojfc]

Looking at these small, beautiful fish is very soothing. I would like to see small fish from all over the world too.

[@rogerfranz1152]

Got some size 22 hooks and caught sticklebacks with it ,lol

[@TAKA_ojfc]

I'm not sure because the hook size notation is different from Japan, but if you're catching a stickleback, it must be quite small. Japanese sticklebacks are about 5cm long. Amazing!

[@rogerfranz1152]

The hooks are a teeny tiny fly hook used to tie midges with and yo need a tiny wee piece of Weiner for bait,lol yes they are small but I was interested in the challange

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@rogerfranz1152 I see, it's a fly hook. I looked up the size online. It's definitely a very small hook. The tip of a hook for tanago fishing is approximately one-fourth of the size of this No. 22 hook. If you have a chance, try smaller fishing.

[@rogerfranz1152]

They have stickleback fishing on you tube😁

[@TAKA_ojfc]

@@rogerfranz1152 I see. I'll watch a video on fishing for sticklebacks.😃
