I found these young kids fishing while wandering the secluded beaches of Gili Trawangan. They were such a joy to watch. Fishing was serious business to them. They were so happy to have their photos taken and they really got excited when I sat and took an interest in their hobby.
As you can see from the sixth photo down, the catch wasn't very good that day. At first I thought that was the bait, but after some time I realized they were taking these fish home with them.
Their fishing mechanism was none other than a can of some sort with string wrapped around it and a hook on the end. Very primitive but it worked and they were even able to cast with it. It was pretty amazing.

Rob,
I wanted to be the first to comment that I love your photos. I once went to Idaho to trout fish and to my surprise the trout were as tiny as the ones in your photos. It took a dozen of them to fill a pan. Have a safe journey on the next leg of your adventure.
Love,
Mom
