"This is a highly promising area where you can encounter 2 or 3-kilogram bigfin squid in the spring," said Mr. Yamada while standing on the rocky shore, gazing at the sea. In mid-May, the stage was set in the northern part of Yamaguchi Prefecture.

He first entered a rocky area with seaweed beds spreading before him. Mr. Yamada explains that because bigfin squid conscious of spawning move toward shallow seaweed beds, the presence of seaweed is a key point in selection. Although he searched the gaps in the seaweed with high-precision casts, there was no response. Moving next to a rocky shore where seaweed was also spreading, he carefully searched the area and hit an approximately 1-kilogram bigfin squid. Subsequently, despite being confused by unexpected strong winds, he continues to aim for a big catch while visiting various spots such as rocky areas, rocky shores, and offshore reefs.
