These fish are indeed revered by Japanese anglers in much the same way brook trout are cherished in North America.

I remember when my friend and I were trying to catch crawdads in the creek as kids. We thought we had the perfect trap, but they just kept escaping. Kinda like trying to chase a slippery high score on Slither io, only with more mud.

This post gave me a good laugh! Sometimes a bit of humor is just what we need to brighten the day—thanks for sharing.
