What is fishing with harpoon?

Fishing with a harpoon is a traditional method of catching fish that has been practiced for centuries. Harpoon fishing involves an angler using a specially designed tool, the harpoon, to catch fish in open waters. The harpoon consists of a long pole with a pointed metal tip attached to one end and a rope or cord tied to the other end.

The angler throws the harpoon towards the fish and attempts to pierce the fish with the pointed tip of the harpoon. Once the fish is captured, the angler reels in the rope or cord to retrieve the catch. Harpoon fishing can be done from a stationary boat or while wading in shallow waters.

Harpoon fishing is commonly used to catch large fish, such as tuna and swordfish. It is a physically demanding and challenging form of fishing that requires strength, skill, and patience. In some cultures, such as the Inuit people of Canada and Alaska, harpoon fishing has long been an important part of the traditional way of life, providing sustenance and cultural significance.
