The other side always caught more than we did.

Yep, just a stick, can be wooden or bamboo like the one I have below:

Very basic but still gets the job done and when we first arrived to the States, we were poor so we used soda cans like the example below:

Lol
I thought you guys use grenade and bomb
-
You've thought wrong.
Our village was too far away from any grenade or bomb. We had no access to them. We were still scratching dry, old bamboo pieces to spark fire. Couldn't have lit a dynamite soon enough to drop onto any fish. Plus, we wanted clean, organic fish from the world's most calm and clear streams around. We got that by just fishing with lines and hooks that someone somehow managed to get to our most remote village.

Ice looks thin and weak
Ain’t no fish is worth dying for
I got fish in the freezer if you want some
They sell $1 canned tuna at ALDI if you want to eat fish
-
Come to green bay next winter
I take you out ice fishing in the great lake
I got a shed and everything
-
Nope. We weren't poor. We were like the ancient people who were full of natural riches untouched by any modern illness. It's great to have experienced another lifestyle than what we have in St. Paul.
Next is going to be a new and different lifestyle for me, too. That's my new aspiration. Different from the past or what I'm still used to right now.

Nor do I envy any of those toj siab chicks. They don't beat my current hottie.

Aww the younger days. The best memories are back at home. I’m glad I have a chance to be born and raised in Laos.

Well said, people who have never been through it could not appreciate nor comprehend our past.

No catches on that lake, Rock? Or were you there just to pose for PH?

Do you ever share your catches with your team?
Back then, we did. If I got two and he got one, I'd offer him one so that he would have two. Vice versa.
We don't mind having less, so long as our co-anglers were happy and also so long as the trip was good. There was plenty in nature for us to go get again.

looks like carp
i think that youtube bounmee hmong dude catches and cook those on his channel
-
They aren't carps. They are kind of white fish and many other kinds but smaller than carp by 70% or so.
Yes, Bounmee is still catching them. We humans did migrate out of the country but the fish haven't. They keep populating the streams and rivers there.

Ditto, those of us that were born there know what's up...whether it's fishing, hunting or just pure surviving.. O0
Back then we eat everything we catch as long as it's safe to eat..Not like some of these don't know anything guys here that spend a ton of money to go fish and then just throw it back.. ;D

Never see those fish before
Not sure what the meeka name is
The white fish here
We call them cisco but too many different species
But look unlike those pictures
-
Some are barbs; some are rutiluses (fresh-water roach rutiluses are our favorites), etc.
Really? White fish are ciscos? What are tullibees?
