Koohii stories:

1) [dihutenosa] 28-8-2007(152): All the people that go to the Japanese festivals to catch fish part time are suckers. Me? I'm a pro. I bring a big-ass golden ladle. I'm a true ANGLING professional.

2) [mcbainpc] 25-6-2008(90): The easiest angling is pulling goldfish out with a big ladle.

3) [mameha1977] 17-10-2007(56): Imagine an effeminate Roman 2000 years ago angling with a golden ladle instead of a rod because it matches his eyes and hair better and it impresses the boys. (Why a Roman? Because 'angling' is just the roman-derived way to say 'fishing' - use this to distinguish fishing from angling.).

4) [ziggr] 18-8-2006(27): Angling is not fishing (avoid fishing (#172 漁)). It is the art of bending golden ladles into lures which which you catch the fish. But the fish aren't that important (and do not appear in this kanji). only the golden ladle matters.

5) [meolox] 17-9-2007(14): I use a gold ladle when I'm angling, the golden reflection in the water draws the fish straight to it, who needs a hook and bait when you have this!
