Fishing

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.
