The duo begins using the current mainstream method for squid fishing: zero-tension (zero-ten) fishing. After the sinker touches the seabed, the line is kept neither taut nor slack—maintaining zero tension. Compared to midwater fishing, the lack of line tension allows squid to take the bait without feeling resistance.

Fishing begins upon the captain’s signal!

Squid schools move quickly. It’s crucial to immediately drop the rig as soon as the signal is given. Once the sinker reaches the bottom, anglers gently jig the rod up and down to entice bites, then wait.

"Yes! Got one!"

Takatsuki gets a bite almost immediately!

Meanwhile, Sugino also gets a hit…

"Incredible! It’s so heavy!"

Looks like it’s going to be a red-hot day of fishing!

This season’s squid fishing is going strong. Watching this episode ensures anyone can catch squid. Don’t miss this 30-minute explosion of action and excitement!
