Blazing a New Trail in Pole-and-line Fishing - Manabu Myojin, Skipjack Tuna Fisherman

The Number 83 Saga Myojin Maru has landed the biggest annual haul of skipjack tuna four times since 2004. This boat's captain is Manabu Myojin. Skipjack tuna swim a different route every year, making them difficult to find. Myojin uses unique methods to track them, studying tidal currents and sea temperature. His detailed analysis and hi-tech equipment have opened up new fishing grounds and led to record-breaking catches. His bold, trailblazing spirit has other captains and fishing researchers calling him a genius.
