Summary: This time, Hiroseman, Nozomiman, and Hirooka Chiaki head to Sukumo, Kochi Prefecture. They are taken to an offshore reef by Nishida Ferry Service and enjoy some evening rockfish fishing. Hiroseman will be using the “Rock Liver 7G Rockfish RV7-962XXH” rod, a high-end model in the “Rock Liver” series. For lures, he will mainly use the “Dragon Screw,” scheduled for release in May 2026, and will also use “Magic Shad” and other lures depending on the situation. Once they are ready, they begin fishing. Nozomiman gets a bite right away! She gets off to a good start and catches a red grouper. Next, Hiroseman also gets a hit! But then something unexpected happens… Sukumo Bay is known for its high potential for catching grouper. They would like to say, “We’ve caught all kinds of grouper,” but will they succeed?! What will become of their evening rockfish fishing…?
