※ This video is part of <Extreme Job - Glorious Crab Catching Part 1-2> broadcast from October 24 to 25, 2012. Autumn, overflowing with delicacies from the mountains and seas, has returned. Four representative seasonal foods of Korea have arrived with it. Mackerel, trout, crab, and finally, 'prawns'. Prawns, one of the representative delicacies of autumn with their unique flavor, are caught starting in late September and in earnest starting in mid-October. Due to the development of aquaculture, it is no longer easy to find plump, wild-caught prawns. However, there are captains and crews who brave the strong winds and currents to catch them. They catch prawns by taking advantage of the differences in the currents at the end of the West Sea using a three-layered, tightly woven net. The captain's keen eye for prawns, which he uses with his long experience and intuition, is full of his 30 years of experience. Even in a situation where no prawns are caught and only bycatch is brought up, they continue to search for a place to work and continue fishing. Let's go to Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, where the prawns, more familiarly called king prawns, begin their plentiful catch. - At 2 a.m., a boat hurries to leave Hangwol Port, a fishing village in Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do. Dongshinho sets out early to catch the prawns that have flocked to Yeonggwang for the first time in five years to welcome autumn. After about three hours on the boat in the sea off Yeonggwang, they arrive at Anma Island, where they begin their full-scale casting. The captain says, "Let's put down the net," and they lower the nets that they had prepared in the evening. The casting work begins by connecting about 200 nets that are 150 centimeters long and 20 meters long, and the casting work is done in a place where the tidal difference is large. As soon as the casting is finished, they turn around and immediately start the hauling work. As wild shrimp are rare, the faces of the sailors who see shrimp coming up one or two at a time begin to show signs of fatigue and become lively. However, as they pull up the net, more and more bycatch is caught than shrimp. The strength in the sailors' shoulders disappears. The captain boards the ship again, dreaming of a full catch of shrimp the next day. However, as the weather worsens, the red light for departure turns on, and to make matters worse, the sailors make the mistake of losing the net while casting the net... The captain gives a scolding order. Are the dark clouds gathering in the sky, trying to make it rain? The sailors' hands become busy. The captain continues fishing despite the bad weather conditions due to not being able to catch many shrimp for several days. The waves are crashing and a warning has been issued. Even so, Dongshinho does not stop sailing. After casting the net several times, the shrimps start to come up little by little, and the faces of the sailors who have overcome the storm begin to smile. For today's fishing, the captain and his son boarded the ship. But the captain's words that he doesn't want to pass the fishing business to his son convey the hardships of life he endured on the sea for 30 years. When a ship loaded with shrimp enters the port, a waiting truck immediately transports the fresh shrimp to the sales area. The captain is delighted with the greater catch than other fishing boats. The sailors who naturally adapt to their lives, thinking of it as their own work even though it is difficult. The captain and crew who find joy in hardships, their voyage will continue. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Glorious Shrimp Catching Part 1-2 ✔ Broadcast date: 2012.10.24-25 #TVDocumentary #ExtremeJob #ShrimpCatching #FishBanquet
