※ This video is a re-edited version of part of <People at the Beach - Anchovy Fishing Fleet Chasing Silver Waves / Anchovy Fleet's Operation Commander, Fishing Chief> broadcast on March 31 and April 7, 2021. Spring, when the South Sea turns a brilliant emerald color. However, sailors say that March is when the sea is the harshest. In the South Sea, which does not easily allow spring, the anchovy fishing fleet carries out a grand anchovy fishing operation. The anchovy fishing fleet consists of a team of four ships: a fish detection ship, two fishing net ships, and a processing/transport ship. When the fish detection ship detects a school of anchovies, the two fishing net ships lower a long net that is 1 km long. The biggest characteristic of the anchovy fishing fleet is that the entire process from catching the anchovies to boiling them is done on the ship. The processing and transport ships are in charge of boiling the caught anchovies while they are still fresh. It is no exaggeration to call the anchovy fishing fleet an “anchovy factory on the sea.” Each ship has a captain, but the person who is responsible for and leads the entire fishing operation is the fishing master. The fishing master uses cutting-edge equipment to determine the location of the anchovy school, and decides the direction and speed at which the ships should sail, as well as the location and timing of the nets. The success or failure of the fishing operation depends on the judgment of the fishing master. The fleet sailing the open sea is always exposed to unexpected crises. The nets can get caught on obstacles, ruining the fishing operation, or they can even end up in a life-threatening situation. In such cases, the only thing needed is a quick solution! If the nets get tangled, veteran sailors with decades of experience roll up their sleeves and join forces. The anchovies caught by the fleet go through a drying process on land and become dried anchovies. There are many stores specializing in anchovy noodles all over the southern coast, the home of anchovies. Anchovy noodles combine a rich anchovy broth with chewy noodles to give a simple impression to the eater. In order to create the deep and refreshing taste of anchovy broth, it requires the sincerity of boiling high-quality dried anchovies for a long time. Anchovy fishing fleet sailing through the rough waves of the South Sea! Let’s meet the silvery and brilliant sailing of the fleet that has never been shown in detail on TV before. - The spring sea of ​​the South Sea becomes the stage for over 40 anchovy fishing fleets. The anchovy fishing fleet consists of four ships that operate together. There is a fish detection ship that searches for anchovy schools, two fishing nets that lower and raise nets, and a processing and transport ship that boils the anchovies on the sea. If you include the captains and crew members of each ship, there are close to 40 people. The person who leads this large fleet and supervises and directs the anchovy fishing process is the ‘fishery chief.’ Under the direction of the fishing master, everyone from young sailors to captains in their 70s moves in unison. The fishing masters, called 'water masters', are mostly former captains of fish-searching vessels. Fisherman Kim Bok-gon (50) also started out as a sailor, became the chief engineer and captain of a fish-searching vessel, and rose to the position of fishing master this year, and is entering the second act of his life. It is known that fishing masters receive an annual salary of up to 1 billion won depending on their career and skills. They also need cutting-edge equipment such as fish-searching devices, extensive knowledge of fishing methods, and intuition based on long experience at sea. This is because they have to accurately detect the location of the anchovy school and give the order to cast the net at the right time. Since the catch of the day depends on the judgment and choice of the fishing master, the burden is considerable. There is even a saying that being a fishing master is a job that eats away at one's life. The anchovy fishing fleet, which spreads a net as long as 1 km and operates four boats in unison, sometimes encounters unexpected situations. Sometimes, schools of fish other than anchovies get caught in the net. In particular, schools of squid turn into heavy and hard rocks when they die in the net, making them dangerous enough to capsize the boat. This is the moment when the fishing master's crisis response ability comes into play. How will fishing master Kim Bok-gon and the crew of the anchovy fishing fleet overcome this crisis? Four ships carrying out a grand anchovy fishing operation in the vast ocean! And we will reveal the story of the fishing master, the 'operation commander on the sea' who leads the operation. ✔ Program name: People at the beach - Anchovy fishing fleet chasing silver waves / Anchovy fleet's operation commander, fishing maste
