※ This video is part of the May 4, 2016 broadcast of <Extreme Job - Eel Fishing with Trap>. Eel, a representative health food! In the ichthyology book 'Jasaneobo' written by Jeong Yak-jeon, it is written that eel "has a sweet taste and is good for people. If someone with diarrhea for a long time eats porridge made with this meat, they will recover quickly." Also, it is said that 100g of vitamin A in eel is equivalent to 10 eggs. There were people who helped us easily put such nutritious eel on our table: sailors who catch eel with traps. The length of the line they use for fishing is a whopping 100km! There are 13,000 traps hanging on it. This work of putting bait in each trap to attract eels and throwing it into the sea may seem simple at first, but it is a arduous task that requires hanging for over seven hours straight. However, it does not end here. The work of removing the traps that have been put into the sea and selecting the eels is a more difficult process than the casting process. If the rope breaks due to an unexpected obstacle, there is no time to eat or sleep. Let’s take a look into the fierce daily lives of the eel trap crew members who endure difficult times in pursuit of the dream of a full catch. Tongyeong Port in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do. There are people who are busy preparing to leave port from early in the morning. They are the crew members who catch conger eels, also known as sea eels, using traps. These days, in the spring, when the water temperature is just right, the crew members who go out to the waters near Tongyeong have to do the repetitive work of tying the traps to the ropes and putting in bait for over 7 hours. As a result, the pain in their entire body has become a daily routine. However, since the casting process is smooth only when the hands and feet are coordinated quickly and accurately, they cannot let their guard down for even a moment. The casting process, which follows 4 hours after the casting process, is even more severe. The working hours are long, but on days when the rope holding the fish trap breaks because it gets caught on an obstacle, there is no time to rest. Also, on days when the waves are so strong that you can’t see even an inch ahead, it is dangerous enough to risk your life. But you can’t give up. The sailors face bad weather with confidence, thinking that it is their fate. Will they be able to achieve their dream of a full catch? ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Fishing with Fish Traps ✔ Broadcast date: 2016.05.04 #GolladunDocumentary #ExtremeJob #Sea #Fishing #Eel #Food #Life #Drama #Movie #Fisherman #Seafood #Eating
