So we went to this festival 2 years ago. It was so much fun that we had to go again. Last year we planned to go, but the salmon catching was cancelled because there was a jelly fish invasion and the jelly fish were killing off too many salmon.
Eddie was successful in catching a large female fish.....I wasn't so lucky :) I was too busy socializing with the Japanese locals to really pay attention to what was going on around me. It didn't help that someone (that shall remain nameless) lost her balance and fell into the salmon pool. There is a 3 minute time limit on catching a salmon, so when you spend 1 1/2 min laughing at someone......one's time gets a bit limited. (excuses, excuses)
Elijah couldn't catch one either. Though in his defense, those suckers (female salmon) are STRONG! Elijah swears that his dad stole his fish from him....that wasn't the case at all....but we allowed him to believe his fabrication as long as it made him feel better about being unsuccessful in his attempt.
Salmon Roe - this is what the sac of eggs look like inside the salmon
