▣ Legend of the sea, dot dom The largest and heaviest fish that can be caught by fishing in the seas of Korea, it is a rare fish that can only be caught in a very limited area and only about 30 fish are caught per year. It can only be caught for about 2 months a year and can be sold for up to 5.2 million won per fish. As a result, dot dom has become a legend of the sea and only those who have accumulated virtue for 3 generations can taste its meat. ▣ Catch the big catch of a lifetime, dot dom The season for catching dot dom by fishing is from May to early July every year. This is when dot dom that used to live in underwater reef caves 400-500 meters deep moves to spawning grounds around 100 meters deep. It is also during this time that sea men who call dot dom their dream fish visit Busan. Among these people, equipped with fishing rods with shark hooks that are said to be able to pull out even a bull and fishing lines as thick as a jump rope, there is Lee Se-jong who has been chasing red sea bream for 8 years already. Their guides are Captain Kang Dae-yong, who has 25 years of experience, and his partner Park Myeong-jin. Red sea bream, which used to be catchable in the waters off Taejongdae in Busan, are now searched for in the distant sea, 3 hours' sail from Busan's southern port, in the Korea Strait adjacent to the Korea-Japan border. However, red sea bream fishing is often a waste of time. Red sea bream is huge, as long as an average adult man and weighing close to 100 kg, and even if they are lucky enough to get a bite, they will momentarily exert strength equivalent to 70-80 kg to bite the bait and run away. Therefore, to pull this guy up to the surface, 4~5 people have to take turns holding the fishing line and fight for 20~30 minutes. This is the way to catch dot dom. Will the anglers who challenge themselves to catch this once-in-a-lifetime big fish, which is only caught 30 times a year, be able to succeed in catching dot dom? ※ This video is from [Documentary Empathy - Legend of the Sea, Dot Dom] that aired on August 8, 2015. #Dot Dom #Legend #Fishing
