saw something that I have vever seen that was pretty amazing and was wondering if you guys have ever seen anything like it
they are in China and a local fisherman came with his family to teach some of the castaways to fish........when he arrived he had about 9 or 10 duck or geese looking birds that stayed right with him and his little boat......what he did was tie a string around the birds throat then released them in the water and they would dive down and bring up fish which they would drop in the boat....the sring was there so they wouldnt swallow the fish..I don't think there was anything attached to the birds as far as a rope or something to bring them back...it was almost like a dog playing fetch..........amazing stuff..........

i thought it was the coolest thing i had seen in fishing. I wish i had birds like that. I can't wait until one of the survivors tries to catch a bird to go fishing.

Yes I saw it, (good show one of my fav's) I have seen this fishing technique before either on a National Graphics, Discovery, or some other program. As mentioned they have been doing this for years, Amazing stuff huh?

the birds are cormorants they use them to catch fish the string is to stop the birds from swallowing the fish they have been fishing that way in china for thousands of years

yes but one thing is that i have actually seen this done in person whilst in china an it was very entertaining and in a way educational to watch they do it more just for the tourists now and have sadly turned to the dfferent method of nets
