Koohii Story 1 All the people that go to the Japanese festivals to catch fish part time are suckers. Me? I´m a pro. I bring a big-ass golden ladle. I´m a true ANGLING professional.
Koohii Story 2 Imagine an effeminate Roman 2000 years ago angling with a golden ladle instead of a rod because it matches his eyes and hair better and it impresses the boys. (Why a Roman? Because ´angling´ is just the roman-derived way to say ´fishing´ - use this to distinguish fishing from angling.).
