Cormorant Fishing

This was really cool - as seen on Survivor China. They tie a noose around these birds and let them go hunt for fish. They can't swallow their catch, so we get to eat it instead. Sometimes, life's just not fair.

 
 
The light is to guide the birds back to the boat. I asked a local if he still fishes this way, and he told me he has a better method - drop an electric heater into the river and electrocute the fish. I asked him to show me, but since it's illegal, he'll only do it in the middle of the night.
