Right now, hands are busy catching the giant octopus in Pohang. We vividly report on the fishing scene where the fishing crews are fighting for our abundant table amidst strong waves and heavy rain. On the way to catch the giant octopus, reaching the Korea-Japan border! Yangpo Port in Pohang at 2 a.m. The Cheonggyeongho set sail under the darkness to catch the giant octopus that is in season. The giant octopus fishing boat, Cheonggyeongho, is a 23-ton boat with a total of 7 crew members. Most octopus fishing boats operate in coastal waters for the day, but most of them catch stone octopuses. To catch the giant octopus, you have to go far out to sea. After sailing for about 4 hours, Cheonggyeongho arrived near the border between Korea and Japan. Finally, Cheonggyeongho crew members arrived at the fishing ground and began fishing for 2 nights and 3 days... Find the giant octopus! The first fishing trip started early in the morning with dreams of a full catch! However, contrary to their high expectations, all they found were empty traps. The giant octopus they were expecting did not come up, and only eels and baby octopuses came up... Then, a huge giant octopus came up! The crew members who had been exhausted started working with excitement, but their happiness was short-lived, and the octopus they had been waiting for was nowhere to be seen... The Cheonggyeongho crew members' struggle to find the giant octopus began! A battle with strong waves! The Cheonggyeongho crew members gradually became exhausted after fishing for over 15 hours. What exhausted the crew members was not only physical fatigue, but also worry about the octopuses they could not catch. The next day, Cheonggyeongho, which was supposed to be fishing, stopped. The waves suddenly got higher and the wind got stronger... If they continue to fish like this, all the crew members could be in danger! Will the Cheonggyeongho crew members be able to finish fishing safely? - Departure, giant octopus returns with a good catch Cheonggyeongho sets out to fish again. Unlike the last fishing trip, the crew members are greeted by clear weather... Also, thanks to the giant octopuses that keep coming up, the crew members' movements are light. Catching giant octopuses requires the crew members to be in sync. The crew members who have been together for two years can tell just by looking at each other's eyes. Unlike the last fishing trip, the giant octopuses come up two or three at a time per trap. Even though they continue fishing from dawn to night, the crew members don't know how hard it is. It's dangerous, find the lost trap! Just when the crew members are gaining strength from the giant octopuses that keep coming up, the main line connecting the trap breaks. If things continue like this, they could lose the trap. The Cheonggyeongho crew members go out to find the trap. However, finding a broken fish trap in the vast ocean is not easy. Even with radar and advanced equipment to find the location of a broken fish trap, it can only be found through the experience of the captain and crew. Night falls when the lost fish trap cannot be found, and the crew just stomps their feet... The sea is my reason for living. Fishing continues even in the harsh conditions where fish traps break and ropes get tangled. Although it is difficult fishing, the dream of a full catch is the driving force that always calls the crew of Cheonggyeongho to the sea. The crew of Cheonggyeongho goes out to the sea today with the simple dream of just loving the sea and wanting to ride the boat as far as they can... The crew of Cheonggyeongho goes on a long journey today toward the sea that is filled with their joys and sorrows. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Catching Giant Octopus Part 1-2 ✔ Broadcast date: 2009.06.03~04
