Broadcast on TV Kanagawa on January 11, 2025 and Sun TV on January 14, 2025 The Amami Islands are an expanse of deep blue sea. The highly transparent waters known as Amami Blue are home to a wide variety of marine life, but they are especially known for the Giant Trevally, commonly known as "GT," a renowned target for saltwater fishing. Adult fish reach a length of 180 cm and a weight of 80 kg, and have fascinated many anglers to date. GT fishing requires the perseverance, physical strength, and willpower of the angler to keep casting lures into the vast ocean, but the most attractive thing about it is the strong pull that has been described as "violent." This time, we will bring you two legends of the GT fishing world and four up-and-coming young anglers who admire them as they take on the big GT that they long for! The person appearing is Kenzaburo Fukui, who has been pursuing "GT" for a long time and is currently based in Amami Oshima and is known as a master of the GT fishing world. Seiichiro Tashiro, an angler who spent most of his 20s in Amami as Fukui's top disciple. Hiromichi Kushida, captain of the No. 2 Big Dipper boat, guides anglers on GT fishing, looking up to the two as his mentors; Yuki Saito, who lives in Saga Prefecture and has caught a 26kg yellowtail and a 38kg GT; Shota Koga, who lives in Fukuoka and holds the record for a 35kg yellowtail and a 35kg GT; and Rin Kobayashi, who lives in Saga Prefecture and has caught a 24kg yellowtail and a 19kg GT. ■Please follow Shimano's official SNS accounts■ Instagram / shimanofishing_jp Facebook / fishing.shimano X https://twitter.com/Shimano_Fishing?s=20 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@shimanofishin...
