Fishing with a rod is common but using an excavator is rare. In the video, the crew draws laughs with their unusually mechanized fishing method. The excavator is lowered into the river to clear mud, algae, and obstacles. As the riverbed is emptied, schools of fish emerge. In a few quick motions, they collect a sizable catch while effortlessly combining work with harvesting.

The method is simple but surprisingly effective, providing the crew with a full fish meal after work. The relaxing and down-to-earth video shows that creativity in labor is limitless.
