Ripple Fisher's Fishing Diary

If you like big fishes, amazing island, great tackle and delicious food, you should definitely check the fishing diary of the famous rod maker Ripple Fisher. It is in Japanese but with some good google translate you can understand part of it. Besides, it more about the photos that are worth thousands of words. In the end you realize that those guys at Ripple Fisher are having a blast testing new rods around the world and especially the southern islands of Japan (Tokara anyone?)
You can see tuna, amberjack, flatfish, hira suzuki, mackerels, madai, chinu and so on. Everything is in there.
Enjoy!
