WTF?  How do you stumble upon that method?  Especially weird if the exact combo of sodas is required to make that happen.  I wonder if the carbonation makes the fish gasp for oxygen or if it's the sugar that draws them.  Weird but interesting for sure.

If trout did this every time I spilt some beer, I would be a fishing legend.

And how do you decide to fish in a spot like that?

In case anyone is wondering what is going on, here is some context. This is the ancient way to fish from Laos that predates all Chinese empires known on record. They used Coke and Orange Fanta back then, because red soda didnt exist yet[1].

Whats happening is that the fish don't get a chance to go out much, because of the dry floor that blocks the sun. They are so bored under there, that the light shines like a disco ball and they come to check it out. The soda flavors are like a party in their mouth and they start wondering if this magnanimous human also has booze. So they jump out and boom, there's your fish.

You're welcome.

What in gods name did I just watch?!?! This is proof that you don't need to have a complex system of rods, reels, bait, etc. to catch fish!! This is purely incredible to see.
