Catching Up in Japan

After my DVD shooting in Shanghai, I flew to Japan to meet up with some friends...and spending a good time catching up with my old time classmates....
My travel always come with food,... and talking about food... The street side noodle hawker is one of my favorite and I won't miss it if I have the chance to try...... and now it is getting lesser and lesser in Japan....
Of course not to forget to go for a good Sushi meal while you are in a Sushi country....
This is my 4th time fishing at Biwa Lake.... After some days of traveling and meeting up with my old schoolmate, finally I can fish for a few days before I go back to work again....
Start out in a windy morning at South part of Biwa Lake.....
Look at the lake it's look like fishing in the sea....
Caught some small basses that morning...
And Show-Chan showing off his 40cm up....
Lunch break with some beers.....
A nap after lunch.... just to ease my many days of traveling tiredness.....
Wow! Look at this biggie.... I caught it right after my nap.....
Yahooo! A 62cm Large Mouth Bass,.... A once in a life time catch! My friends are so happy for me as a 60 cm up catch is very hard to come by...... YEAH!
Celebrating my once in a life time catch..... CHEERS!
Fishing continues the next morning with Ushi and Gon,....
Plenty of catches from the lake.....
This 54cm is not too bad at all....
Lunch break by the lake.....
After all the Bass fishing,... We decided to try our hands at Japanese Snakehead KAMURUCHI RAIGYO...
Yes! We were rewarded with some nice catches....
Cheers!....
My last day at Biwa Lake.....
Look at the hundreds of boats bobbing on the surface during a weekend....
Luckily we still managed some catches....
Ooops! Soon my battery went out and fell asleep.....
Travel to Kobe meet up with friends and had some local delicacies....
This time my friend brought me to catch another type of Japanese Snakehead RAIHI RAIGYO...
So happy to catch a Snakehead with such a colourful pattern....
My local friend Junya gave me helpful guidance to tackle this fish.....
Yeah! Cheers!... What a beauty!...
I even went to try in some wild ponds....
My rubber bait setting for the game....
Here comes the catches.....
