Saw this video of someone catching fish with their bare hands and got super intrigued. I mean, how does it even work? Can you just dive in and grab hold of any fish? Seems like the fish would be way too quick. I'm guessing there's got to be some sort of technique involved that I'm not aware of. Anyone here who can explain how this whole hand gathering fishing thing works?
Sure, hand gathering does involve some specific techniques. The key is knowing fish behavior and habitat because it involves getting very close to the fish, often in shallow water, before swiftly catching them by hand. It's more about strategy and less about speed.
Honestly, I think you've got it all wrong. Hand gathering isn't just about getting close in shallow water. It's about knowing where to look, the types of habitats they prefer, and the right time to go for a catch. It's so much more nuanced than that.
Well, that's just not accurate in my view. It's definitely more complex than that.
Also, patience is crucial. Waiting motionlessly to not startle the fish can often make the difference. Plus, there's often a bit of digging involved as some fish hide under rocks or in the sand.
Yeah, you're spot on there. It's all about the patience game and sometimes outsmarting the fish's hiding spots. A gentle touch can sometimes coax them out without causing a commotion.
Has anyone tried different weather or water conditions to see how it affects hand gathering? Like does it work better in clear vs murky water?
You raise a good point! What about different seasons or times of day? Are there periods when fish are more active and easier to gather by hand?
