I really have no idea if this particular fish trick works, but I saw this old man sit down before a small river, throw his fishing rod then sat still. After a while, as no movement was happening in the fish line, the old man decided to hum a melody, which to me, was a
mistake in fishing. Yet, after a few minutes, there was movement, and in seconds, I saw the old man shaking, trying to reel in a possible catch. Finally, he got his wish, and the old man took hold of a wriggling fish which he quickly threw inside a waiting bucket.
The old man ended up with a total fish catch of three. He quickly went home humming the same melody, his right hand holding on to is fish catch while his left hand
clutched tightly his fishing rod.
The question is, did the melody that the old man was humming have anything to do with his fish catch? I can't say, because most fishermen I've watched keep still as they wait for a fish to catch their respective baits. The old man, however, had a different approach.
I tried to do some research about this but the closest I got was about some dumb law in Pennsylvania where you are not allowed to catch fish except with your mouth.
Maybe it was embedded in some ancient folklore or belief, I can't really say. Maybe I'll just try to catch sight of the old man next time he goes fishing and get the answer straight from his mouth.
