Peru, located on the polar opposite side of Korea.
Peru is the heaven of fish, ranking 2nd place in terms of catches worldwide.
In Peru, the giant squid is over 3 feet long and weighs from 88~132lbs, so it's especially difficult to catch.
Giant squid is in season from November to April, and after they came down to Pucusana Port due to water temperature change, they seem to be a good catch there.
Pucusana, a small fishing village, becomes lively, and the fishermen that catch giant squid become busy as well.
If there is a school of giant squid, they could fill up the 20t boat all in one day, but it's not easy finding them who move based on water temperature, so the captain packs enough food before he boards the boat.
They sail through the South Pacific, known for its harsh waves, for over 28 hours to get to the giant squid fishery.
Even fish finders are useless for giant squid, so they only use the radio connected with other boats to follow the giant squid.
If they're unlucky, they come back empty-handed sometimes.
And to no one's surprise, all the giant squid ran away when they first arrived at the work site.
If they fail one more time, they just have to spend the night.
The fishermen place their equipment on the fishing lamp as they prepare for the last time.
As if their desperate prayers worked, there are bites as soon as they cast the line.
Giant squid is known for their hot temper, so they attack the fishermen with ink and put up a fight.
Giant squid that is dozen times bigger than ones in Korea shoot ink in very high water pressure, so it stings your face and can lead to skin diseases.
However, it's a school of giant squid they don't see every day, so they cast the fishing equipment right into the water without having time to wipe the ink off.
Moreover, pulling up and moving giant squid that is close to a full-grown man's weight is not an easy task.
It's been 12 hours since the successful work began, and the crewmen are fully exhausted.
But they still need to catch loads of giant squid to fill up the boat.
Will they be able to return with a full load of fish weighing 25 tonnes?!
The ruler of the South Pacific only heard in novels or movies, we introduce you to the giant squid and the strong fishermen of Peru who win against them.
